General Notes: The 1909-S Lincoln cent is considered a semi-key issue and is relatively scarce in all grades, though it is especially challenging in uncirculated grades. Within the uncirculated spectrum, Brown and Red-Brown examples are most common, and these are frequently encountered in the MS60-65 range.
