1912-S Lincoln Cent XF Details (Cleaned)
The 1912-S Lincoln cent represents an early chapter in one of the most enduring coin designs in United States history. Struck in copper at the San Francisco Mint, this coin carries the distinctive 'S' mint mark beneath its date on the obverse side. The face of the coin presents a detailed profile bust of Abraham Lincoln, accompanied by the word 'LIBERTY' and the national motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST'. Turning the coin over reveals the classic reverse design, which is dominated by two stylized ears of wheat framing the denomination. The inscriptions 'ONE CENT' and 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' are clearly displayed, completing a design created by Victor David Brenner. This particular piece is preserved in Extra Fine details, though it shows evidence of past cleaning, offering a fascinating look at a century-old survivor of American pocket change.
