1931-S Lincoln Cent AU-58 PCGS
The 1931 Lincoln Cent represents a fascinating chapter in American numismatics, struck at the San Francisco Mint during a challenging economic era. This copper coin is composed of a traditional alloy containing 95 percent copper, with the remaining 5 percent consisting of tin and zinc. As part of a landmark series, this design holds a special place in currency history as the first regularly circulating United States coin to depict an actual historical individual rather than an allegorical figure. On the obverse, the profile of Abraham Lincoln faces right, accompanied by the inscriptions of liberty and the year 1931 with the 'S' mint mark below it. The reverse of the coin features two wheat stalks framing the denomination and country of origin. This particular specimen has been certified in About Uncirculated 58 condition, preserving the crisp details of Victor David Brenner's historic engraving.
