Up for auction/sale is a key early-date issue in the Lincoln Wheat Cent series—an authentic 1910-S Lincoln Wheat Cent in Fine (F) condition with evidence of possible older cleaning/retoning.

Struck at the historic San Francisco Mint during the second year of the Lincoln cent design, the 1910-S features a low original mintage of just 6,045,000 pieces—making it the lowest mintage business strike cent of 1910 by a wide margin. While displaying signs of an older cleaning that has since aged and retoned naturally over time, this coin preserves solid Fine-level design details, including a clear profile, strong cheekbone definition, bold lettering, and a distinct "S" mint mark. It represents an exceptional, budget-friendly opportunity for serious collectors to fill an essential early S-mint key slot in their album without paying top-tier certified prices.
