The 1928-D Lincoln cent is a common coin in all circulated grades and into the lower uncirculated grades. However, like so many 1920s Lincoln cents, the 1928-D penny becomes tough around MS65 and rare in MS66 or higher. Be sure to seek nice examples with even color, strong strike, and few to no carbon spots and other surface detractions.
Obverse Description
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 Description
Wheat ears flanking the words ONE CENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM on the top perimeter.
