1912-S Lincoln Cent Good
The 1912-S Lincoln Cent represents an early chapter in one of the most enduring coin series in United States history. Minted in San Francisco, this copper one-cent piece carries the distinctive 'S' mint mark, signaling its West Coast origin during a transitional era of American coinage. On the obverse, the profile of Abraham Lincoln faces right, a design created by Victor David Brenner. The legendary president is accompanied by the inscriptions 'LIBERTY' and the date '1912', alongside the national motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST'. The reverse of the coin features two stylized wheat ears framing the denomination 'ONE CENT' and the country name 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA'. This classic 'Wheat Cent' design also bears the Latin motto 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' arching over the top, completing a timeless piece of American numismatic artistry.
