1913-S Lincoln Wheat Cent — Fine (F)
A desirable 1913-S Lincoln Wheat Cent, struck at the San Francisco Mint and designed by Victor David Brenner. The obverse features the portrait of President Abraham Lincoln with “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “LIBERTY,” and the date 1913. The reverse displays the classic wheat ears surrounding “ONE CENT” and “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.”
This example is graded Fine (F), showing moderate circulation wear while retaining clear details in Lincoln's portrait, lettering, and wheat stalks. The “S” mint mark identifies this coin as a San Francisco issue.
The 1913-S is considered a scarce semi-key date in the Lincoln Wheat Cent series, with only 6,101,000 struck. It is considerably less common than the Philadelphia issue, particularly in higher circulated grades.
