The 1942-S Lincoln cent is a common coin that is plentiful up through MS66, scarce in MS67, and rare in MS68. This issue was well struck, and many of the uncirculated specimens exhibit great color, so buyers should have little difficulty finding decent pieces with splendid eye appeal.
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.
