1921-S Lincoln Cent Good/VG
Struck in copper at the San Francisco Mint, this 1921 Lincoln cent represents a classic era of American coinage. The obverse features the familiar profile of Abraham Lincoln, a design created by Victor David Brenner. This portrait of the sixteenth president has become one of the most recognized images in numismatic history, accompanied by the inscriptions of liberty and the national motto. The reverse of the coin displays two stylized wheat ears framing the face value. This simple yet elegant framing gave rise to the beloved "wheat penny" moniker. The San Francisco origin is marked by the small "S" mint mark located on the obverse, indicating its origin from the West Coast facility during the early decades of the twentieth century.
