1914-S Lincoln Wheat Cent — Very Fine (VF)
A desirable 1914-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. The reverse displays the classic wheat ears surrounding “ONE CENT” and “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.”
This example is graded Very Fine (VF), showing moderate circulation wear while retaining clear detail in Lincoln's portrait, the lettering, and the wheat stalks. The “S” mint mark identifies this coin as a San Francisco issue.
The 1914-S is considered a semi-key date in the Lincoln Wheat Cent series. Only 4,137,000 were struck, making it considerably scarcer than common-date Lincoln cents.
