1917-S Lincoln Cent AU
Introduced in 1909 to mark the centennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth, the Lincoln Cent remains a cornerstone of American pocket change. This copper coin, minted in 1917 at the San Francisco Mint, represents an early era of a design that has been continually produced for over a century. The obverse features the classic profile of the sixteenth American president, accompanied by the inscriptions of liberty and trust. On the reverse, the simple yet powerful design frames the denomination of one cent and the country of origin, United States of America. This particular specimen survives in Almost Uncirculated condition, preserving the fine details of a design that connected everyday citizens with a monumental national anniversary.
