1930 Lincoln cents are extremely common in all grades and color designations through MS66, making this one of the earliest Lincoln cents one can find with relative ease in the widest range of actively traded grades. Only in MS67 and higher grades does the 1930 Philadelphia cent prove rare. As when purchasing any coin, be sure to purchase top-quality and seek coins with rich color, strong strike, and few marks or other 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.
