Whitman Expo
1951-S One Cent MS RD
Details
This San Francisco issue is common in circulated condition and is available in uncirculated grades as high as MS66. However, it becomes a scarce issue at the MS67 level or higher, which is par for course for Lincoln cents of the early 1950s.
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.
