Among the many early mint marked Lincoln semi-keys is the 1914-S, a scarce coin in all grades. Circulated representatives are among the most commonly encountered examples, as uncirculated examples are somewhat rare. As expected, Mint State specimens with Brown and Red-Brown designations are the most common among the uncirculated group, with RDs and more so fully Red Gems highly difficult to locate.
