1937-S One Cent MS RD
Details
This San Francisco issue is very common in all grades ranging from well circulated up through MS67. For pieces grading higher, prices become significantly steeper as the number of available specimens drops precipitously. Most collectors have room to be picky and can find exceptional pieces in the mid-range Gem levels with a little extra looking.
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.
