1931-S Lincoln Cent AU
The 1931 Lincoln Cent struck at the San Francisco Mint represents a fascinating moment in American numismatic history. This copper coin, preserved in Almost Uncirculated condition, showcases the enduring artistry of Victor David Brenner. His iconic design has graced the United States one-cent piece for generations, making it one of the most recognizable portraits in the world. On the obverse, the profile of Abraham Lincoln faces right, accompanied by the inscriptions of liberty and trust that define the nation's coinage. Just below the date, the small "S" mint mark indicates its origin from the San Francisco facility. The reverse of the coin features a minimalist yet elegant framing of two wheat ears, which flank the denomination and the country of origin, a design that came to define an entire era of American pocket change.
