Details

The 1952-D Lincoln penny is common in all circulated grades and is readily available up through MS66. It only begins taking strong premiums in MS67 or higher, a grade range that for this issue is sought mostly by registry set collectors and other series enthusiasts who desire top-notch examples for their Lincoln cent sets.

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.
