General Notes: 1947 Lincoln cents are common in circulated grades and are widely available through MS65, though pieces grading MS66 are tough. Examples with rich color, deep luster, and strong strike aren't impossible to find but are remarkably difficult to find. Expect to pay premiums for nice examples.
