1912-S Lincoln Cent AU
The 1912 Lincoln cent represents an early chapter in one of America's most enduring numismatic traditions. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this copper coin carries the distinctive 'S' mint mark on its obverse, positioned just beneath the date. This issue is highly regarded by enthusiasts who appreciate the subtle details preserved on its surfaces, which remain remarkably sharp in an Almost Uncirculated state. On the obverse, the profile of Abraham Lincoln faces right, accompanied by the familiar inscriptions 'LIBERTY' and 'IN GOD WE TRUST'. The reverse design features two stylized stalks of wheat framing the central denomination 'ONE CENT' and 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA'. Above this composition, the Latin motto 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' arches gracefully, completing a design created by Victor David Brenner that has captivated observers for over a century.
