Description
This is a 1969 S Lincoln cent graded MS 66 RD by NGC. The coin features the profile of Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and wheat stalks on the reverse. The "S" mint mark indicates it was struck at the San Francisco Mint.
History
The Lincoln cent, designed by Victor David Brenner, was first minted in 1909 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth. The wheat-ear reverse design was used from 1909 to 1958, replaced by the Lincoln Memorial design in 1959. This particular coin is from the later period of the wheat cent's run.
Facts
The 'RD' in the grade signifies 'Red', indicating the coin retains its original mint luster and has not developed significant toning. This is a desirable attribute for collectors. The 1969-S is a common date, but high-grade examples like this one are always sought after.
Value Fact
High-grade Lincoln cents in red condition are consistently popular among collectors. The MS 66 grade represents a significant step up from average circulated examples, commanding a premium. Market prices for such coins typically range from $5 to $15, with variations based on current demand and dealer pricing.
