1926-S Lincoln Cent Good/VG
The 1926 Lincoln Cent represents a classic era of United States copper coinage. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this piece carries the distinctive 'S' mint mark, indicating its West Coast origins. The coin displays a circulated grade of Good to Very Good, showing the honest wear of a cent that passed through many hands during the early twentieth century. On the obverse, the profile of Abraham Lincoln faces right, accompanied by the word 'LIBERTY' and the date of 1926. This portrait, created by designer Victor David Brenner, remains one of the most recognizable images in American numismatics. The reverse side features two stylized stalks of wheat framing the denomination 'ONE CENT' and the country 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', alongside the traditional motto 'E PLURIBUS UNUM'.
