1909-S/S Lincoln, Repunched Mintmark One Cent MS RB FS-1501 Values
Details
The 1909-S Lincoln cent is considered a semi-key issue and is relatively scarce in all grades, though it is especially challenging in uncirculated grades. Within the uncirculated spectrum, Brown and Red-Brown examples are most common, and these are frequently encountered in the MS60-65 range.
Obverse: Bust of Abraham Lincoln framed by IN GOD WE TRUST on the top periphery. The word LIBERTY to the left of the portrait and the date and mintmark (If any) positioned on the right side.
Reverse: Wheat ears flanking the words ONE CENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM on the top perimeter. Deisgner's initials of V.D.B. have been removed.
