1919 One Cent MS BN Values
Details
1919 Lincoln cents are common in all circulated grades and are plentiful in uncirculated grades, too. While full Red specimens are certainly scarcer than their Brown and Red-Brown counterparts, they are nevertheless widely available through MS66RD. Overall, collectors and dealers should have little trouble finding choice examples of this Philadelphia issue.
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.
