1913 One Cent MS BN Values
Details
The 1913 Lincoln cent from the Philadelphia Mint is a categorically common coin, though it is extremely difficult in high-end uncirculated grades. In the grade of MS67, it is perhaps the second-toughest issue to locate after only the 1914 Philadelphia cent. Of course, this is not surprising given that relatively few examples of any Lincoln cents from this period were saved in large quantities.
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.
