The 1957 Philadelphia-mint Lincoln cent is a common coin in circulated grades and in uncirculated levels up through MS66. Pieces grading MS67 are extremely scarce, with higher-grading specimens all but elusive.
Obverse Description

Reverse Description
Wheat ears flanking the words ONE CENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM on the top perimeter.
