1919-S Lincoln Cent XF
The Lincoln Cent stands as one of the most enduring series in United States coinage, with production continuing uninterrupted since its introduction in 1909. This particular copper penny, struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1919, represents a classic era of American pocket change. The entire series was originally created to commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth, marking a significant shift in the nation's coinage design. This specimen is preserved in Extra Fine condition, displaying the clear details of its historic design. The obverse features the familiar profile of the sixteenth president, accompanied by the inscriptions LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST, alongside the 1919 date and the S mint mark. The reverse side bears the traditional denomination of ONE CENT and the country of origin, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, framed by the classic wheat ears that defined the early decades of this iconic series.
