      General Notes: Unlike S-mint Lincoln cents of a decade or so earlier, the 1939-S Lincoln cent is a common coin in all grades through MS66 and generally offers excellent strike and color to boot. Registry set collectors vie for the best of the MS67-level examples which represent among the very best one could expect in terms of grade and quality for the 1939-S Lincoln cent.
