1912-S Lincoln Cent XF
The 1912 Lincoln cent represents an early chapter in one of the most enduring coin series in United States history. Struck in copper at the San Francisco Mint, this piece bears the distinctive 'S' mint mark on its obverse, positioned just below the date. This particular coin is preserved in Extra Fine condition, showcasing the finer details of its classic imagery after more than a century. On the obverse, the profile of Abraham Lincoln faces right. Above his portrait, the classic motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' is inscribed, while the word 'LIBERTY' stands to his left. The reverse design features two stylized stalks of wheat framing the denomination 'ONE CENT' and the country of origin, 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA'. At the top rim, the traditional Latin motto 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' arches over the entire design, completing this iconic piece of American numismatics.
