1938-S 1c BN

Coin / United States of America / 1938 / San Francisco / Lincoln Cents - Wheat Reverse / 1c

This S-mint Lincoln is quite common in all grades as high as MS66 and offers enough survivors in the MS67 range to satisfy even the most discriminating of registry set collectors. As this coin has an adequate number of examples active in the marketplace, one should find little challenge in seeking the top-notch specimens. Thankfully, the quality of color and strike among this and many other late-1930s Lincoln is among the best a numismatist could hope to find.
