      General Notes: The 1942 Philadelphia Lincoln cent is a common coin in all grades through MS65, though it tough in MS66 and quite scarce in MS67 and rare in grades above that. Searching for quality pieces with rich color, decent strike, and few surface problems shouldn't be difficult and is surely worth the effort.
