1949-S One Cent MS RB Values
Details
The 1949-S Lincoln cent is readily available in grades up through MS66, with pieces grading MS67 or higher considerably rare. Color, strike, and overall eye appeal are everything for the higher-grading specimens, which are of particular lure to registry set collectors.
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.
