      General Notes: The 1916-S Lincoln cent is a surprisingly scarce coin today. While its original mintage figures are multiples of the S-mint Lincoln pennies that came before it. It is not considered a true semi-key date, at least in the circulated grades. However, few were saved in the uncirculated grades, and this piece is now considered a conditional rarity. The coin is rare at the Gem level, regardless of color designation.
