The 1909-S Lincoln cent is considered a semi-key issue and is relatively scarce in all grades, though it is especially challenging in uncirculated grades. Within the uncirculated spectrum, Brown and Red-Brown examples are most common, and these are frequently encountered in the MS60-65 range.
Obverse Description
Bust of Abraham Lincoln framed by IN GOD WE TRUST on the top periphery. The word LIBERTY to the left of the portrait and the date and mintmark (If any) positioned on the right side.
Reverse Description
