1946-S 1c RD

Coin / United States of America / 1946 / San Francisco / Lincoln Cents - Wheat Reverse / 1c

This San Francisco issue is available in large quantities up through MS66, though it is scarce in MS67 and higher grades. So, plenty of pieces are available for collectors who want a decent specimen, though registry set builders will need to pay a pretty penny for high-end pieces near the top of the grading spectrum.
