1913-D One Cent MS RD
Details
The 1913-D cent is a scarce semi-key date, similar to many of the other early branch-mint Lincoln cents of the period. While a tough coin in circulated grades, it is decidedly rare in uncirculated condition, regardless of the coin's color designation. As expected among any of these early Lincoln cents, the competition for nice, high-end examples by registry set collectors puts extreme price pressure for top-grade specimens, with that strong demand trickling down for other nice pieces across lower grades.
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.
