1936 One Cent MS BN Values

Details

All 1936 Philadelphia Lincoln cents are extremely common in circulated grades as well as all Red-Brown Mint States grades. Much the same is the case for Red specimens, which are readily available as high as MS66RD. Pieces in MS67RD are scarce and in higher grades are rare, as is the case for many Lincoln cents across the entire series.

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.
