1929-S Lincoln cents is one of the most common pre-1930 S-mint issues from the series but is considerably tough in grades of MS65 or better. Seek quality examples with rich color, few surface marks, and a crisp strike to ensure satisfaction with the purchase and the best possible opportunity for a decent return on the investment.
