      General Notes: The 1942-S Lincoln cent is a common coin that is plentiful up through MS66, scarce in MS67, and rare in MS68. This issue was well struck, and many of the uncirculated specimens exhibit great color, so buyers should have little difficulty finding decent pieces with splendid eye appeal.
