General Notes: The 1941-S Lincoln cent is a common coin up through the grade of about MS65, with pieces grading higher than that a little tougher to find but by no means impossible, not at least until getting north of the MS67 threshold. Overall, 1941-S pennies are easy to locate in quantity, and one should have little difficulty finding nice specimens with decent strike and nice eye appeal. NGC ID: 22DY
