1945-D One Cent MS RD Values
Details
The 1945-D Lincoln cent is common in all grades through MS66, scarce in MS67, and extraordinarily rare in MS68. As there are thousands of Gem specimens available, buyers have room to be choosy when purchasing Mint State 1945-D Lincoln cents and should look for pieces with strong strike, good color, and few contact marks.
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.
