1929 One Cent MS BN Values

Details

The 1929 Philadelphia Lincoln cent is a common coin across the grading spectrum from the low-end circulation range up through MS65BR. Be choosy on eye appeal, seeking only nice pieces with even color, few marks, and absent of any major other detractions. There are plenty specimens available and ample opportunities to find just the right piece.

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