1927-S Lincoln Wheat Cent
ANACS EF40 (Extremely Fine 40)
The 1927-S Lincoln Wheat Cent was struck at the San Francisco Mint during the early years of the iconic Lincoln cent series. Designed by renowned sculptor Victor David Brenner, the Lincoln cent was introduced in 1909 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth, becoming the first regular-issue United States coin to feature the portrait of a real historical figure.
The 1927-S is considered one of the better dates in the Wheat Cent series due to its relatively low mintage and the scarcity of well-preserved examples. Certified EF40 (Extremely Fine) by ANACS, this coin exhibits only moderate wear while retaining strong detail in Lincoln's portrait and the wheat ears on the reverse.
