This high-mintage Philadelphia-mint issue is extremely common in all grades through MS65, though it is a fairly tough issue in MS66 and better condition. Specimens grading MS67 or better are very rare.
Obverse Description

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