1919-S Lincoln Wheat Cent — Very Good (VG)
A classic 1919-S Lincoln Wheat Cent, struck at the San Francisco Mint and designed by Victor David Brenner. The obverse features the familiar portrait of President Abraham Lincoln, while the reverse displays two wheat ears surrounding “ONE CENT” and “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.”
This example is graded Very Good (VG), showing moderate circulation wear while retaining the date, mint mark, lettering, and major design details. The “S” mint mark identifies this coin as a San Francisco issue.
The 1919-S is considered a semi-key date in the Lincoln Wheat Cent series. Although circulated examples are relatively affordable, higher-grade examples become considerably scarcer.
