      General Notes: The 1916-D Lincoln cent is a better date, though it isn't necessarily a semi-key in the strictest sense as a few million exist across the entire grading spectrum. Given a respectable mintage and a substantial number of survivors, the 1916-D is among the earliest of branch-mint Lincoln cents that is encountered with some degree of regularity. Specimens are plentiful even into the uncirculated grades, though are quite scarce above MS64 or MS65.
