1938-S Lincoln Cent MS-66 PCGS (Red)
The 1938-S Lincoln Cent stands as a remarkably preserved specimen from the San Francisco Mint. Struck in copper, this coin has achieved a high grade of Mint State 66 (MS-66) with a vibrant Red designation, indicating that it retains much of its original, bright mint luster. This classic piece of American coinage features the familiar profile of Abraham Lincoln on the obverse. Above his portrait, the timeless motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" is paired with the word "LIBERTY" and the 1938 date. Just below the date, the distinct "S" mintmark denotes its origin from the San Francisco facility. The reverse of the coin displays a simple yet elegant design featuring two stalks of wheat framing the central denomination "ONE CENT" and the words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA". Created by Victor David Brenner, this design remains one of the most recognizable and beloved motifs in the history of United States coinage.
