Entry Details
PCGS Number: 410664 Coin Date: 1910-S/S Denomination (Short): 1c Denomination (Long): Cent Variety: Repunched Mintmark Variety 2: FS-501 Desg: MS Mint Mark: S Composition: 95% copper; 5% zinc & tin Mintage: 6,045,000 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: The 1910-S Lincoln cent is considered a semi-key date coin, as are all mint marked Lincoln cents dating before 1916. It, along with the 1913-S Lincoln penny are much easier to find in circulated grades than the other early S-mint Lincoln cents. Also similar to the other early branch-mint Lincolns, the 1910-S is scarce in uncirculated grades, though not nearly as much so as many other examples. In fact, it is more readily available in Gem Red than virtually any other S-mint Lincoln cent through the 1920s. Also, unlike most early branch-mint Lincolns, the 1910-S features a rather decent strike. PCGS #: 410664 NGC ID: 22B6
