1937 One Cent PR BN Values

Details

The 1937 proof Lincoln cents are scarce by today's standards, with among the lowest mintages of all post-1935 proof one-cent coins. But they are encountered with some degree of frequency and are normally found in the mid-level Gem range of PR64-PR66. Relatively few exist in grades of PR67 or higher.

Obverse: Bust of Abraham Lincoln framed by IN GOD WE TRUST on the top periphery. The word LIBERTY to the left of the portait and the date postioned 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.
