The 1928-D Lincoln cent is a common coin in all circulated grades and into the lower uncirculated grades. However, like so many 1920s Lincoln cents, the 1928-D penny becomes tough around MS65 and rare in MS66 or higher. Be sure to seek nice examples with even color, strong strike, and few to no carbon spots and other surface detractions.
