This semi-key date is widely available in the circulated grades but becomes significantly more difficult to locate in Mint State, especially in the Gem vicinity of MS65 or better. The 1919-S Lincoln cent keeps enthusiasts looking far and wide, with many registry set collectors dropping big bucks for the rare opportunity to purchase a top piece in the MS66 range.
