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: The 1944-S Lincoln cent is an extremely common coin in circulated condition and is available in plentiful numbers up through the grade of MS66. In MS67, 1944-S pennies are scarce and in higher grades this issue is considerably scarce. Many high-grade pieces not only exhibit great luster and rich color but also strong strike, meaning there are plenty of Gem uncirculated specimens to satisfy market demand. PCGS #: 2729 NGC ID: 22EE
