Up for auction/sale is a highly sought-after early branch-mint key issue—a 1911-S Lincoln Wheat Cent in Extra Fine (XF) condition.

Struck at the San Francisco Mint with a low mintage of just 4,028,000 pieces, the 1911-S is a notable early semi-key date in the Lincoln Wheat series. Finding early 1910s S-mint cents in high-grade circulated condition with smooth, problem-free surfaces and deep, original chocolate color is getting increasingly difficult. This choice specimen offers fantastic eye appeal, sharp portrait definition, crisp wheat stalks, and a bold mint mark—making it an exceptional anchor coin for any high-grade Lincoln album, Dansco setup, or early U.S. copper collection.
