      Entry Details

      PCGS Number: 2534
      Coin Date: 1921-S
      Denomination (Short): 1c
      Denomination (Long): Cent
      Desg: MS
      Mint Mark: S
      Composition: 95% copper; 5% zinc & tin
      Mintage: 15,274,000
      Strike Type: Business
      Coinage Type: Lincoln, Wheat reverse (Bronze)
      Coinage Years: 1909-1958
      Mint Location: San Francisco
      Diameter: 19
      Weight (Grams): 3.11
      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: Lower mintages in 1921 spurred by a sputtering post-war economy meant fewer Lincoln cents being made. And while the coin is plentiful in circulated grades and even in Brown and Red-Brown uncirculated grades through MS64, it is extremely difficult in grades of MS65 or above in any color.
