Struck at the San Francisco Mint during the very second year of Victor David Brenner's iconic redesign, this 1910-S Lincoln Wheat Cent is a sought-after early branch-mint issue. With a mintage of just 6.04 million—a fraction of its Philadelphia counterpart's 146 million—the 1910-S is a key early milestone for Lincoln cent collectors.

Struck in traditional bronze (95% copper, 5% tin and zinc), early "S" mint coppers like this were heavily circulated across West Coast trade routes, leaving many examples heavily worn, damaged, or cleaned. For collectors looking for an honest, problem-free representative with a bold mintmark to fill a crucial slot in an un-slabbed album, this piece delivers fantastic eye appeal and solid detail.
