Entry Details
PCGS Number: 2596 Coin Date: 1929 Denomination (Short): 1c Denomination (Long): One Cent Desg: MS Composition: 95% copper; 5% zinc & tin Mintage: 185,262,000 Strike Type: Business Coinage Type: Lincoln Cent Coinage Years: 1909-1958 Mint Location: Philadelphia Diameter: 19 Weight (Grams): 3.11 Weight (Ounces): 0.11 Designer: Victor D. Brenner Edge: Plain Obverse Description: Bust of Abraham Lincoln framed by IN GOD WE TRUST on the top periphery. The word LIBERTY to the left of the portrait and the date and mintmark (If any) positioned on the right side. Reverse Description: Wheat ears flanking the words ONE CENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM on the top perimeter. General Notes: The 1929 Philadelphia Lincoln cent is a common coin across the grading spectrum from the low-end circulation range up through MS64RD. The availability of the 1929 in Red Mint State becomes much different when considering pieces in MS65 or better, which are quite scarce. Seek only nice pieces with full Red color, few marks, and absent of any major other detractions. PCGS #: 2596 NGC ID: 22CU
