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