1926-D One Cent MS RD Values
Details
The 1926-D Lincoln cent is common in circulated grades, scarce but available for a price in the Mint State grades and rare in a grade of MS65 or better. This, or course, is a typical population spread for most of the 1920s branch-mint pennies. This is often best explained by the general lack of numismatists collecting Lincoln cents by date and mintmark during that period. Those who did save Lincoln cents in roll quantities often did so for the Philadelphia Mint. Though, as many collectors will note, not all Philadelphia-minted Lincoln cents are plentiful in upper 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.
