Proof 1951 Lincoln cents are plentiful in all grades and color designations, though collectors seeking top example will take extra time in seeking pieces with spotless surfaces and great overall eye appeal. Those who want a particularly rewarding challenge should seek examples with strong cameo effects on the devices and lettering. Such pieces are rare but well worth the effort in seeking, and they are of particular interest to series enthusiasts and registry set collectors.
Obverse Description
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 Description
Wheat ears flanking the words ONE CENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM on the top perimeter.
