1942 Doubled Die Obverse One Cent MS RD FS-101 Values
Details
The 1942 Philadelphia Lincoln cent is a common coin in all grades through MS65, though it tough in MS66 and quite scarce in MS67 and rare in grades above that. Searching for quality pieces with rich color, decent strike, and few surface problems shouldn't be difficult and is surely worth the effort.
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.
