General Notes: 1930 Lincoln cents are extremely common in all grades and color designations through MS66, making this one of the earliest Lincoln cents one can find with relative ease in the widest range of actively traded grades. Only in MS67 and higher grades does the 1930 Philadelphia cent prove rare. As when purchasing any coin, be sure to purchase top-quality and seek coins with rich color, strong strike, and few marks or other detractions. PCGS #: 2603 NGC ID: 22CX
