PCGS Number: 37672 Coin Date: 1911-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: 4,026,000 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 1911-S Lincoln cent is one of the toughest semi-keys in the series beyond the most prominent regular-issue Lincoln rarities, including the 1909-S VDB, 1909-S, 1914-D, and 1931-S. While a scarce coin across the board, many examples offer good eye appeal thanks to the fact that most are well struck. The 1911-S Lincoln cent is rare in all Red uncirculated grades and is exceptionally so in MS65RD or better. Pressure from registry set collectors often pushes examples in the MS66RD range into five-figure pricing territory. PCGS #: 37672 NGC ID: 22B9
