Up for auction/sale is one of the premier key dates of the 1920s—a 1924-D Lincoln Wheat Cent in Extra Fine (XF) condition.

Struck at the Denver Mint with a tiny mintage of just 2,820,000 pieces, the 1924-D is widely recognized alongside the 1914-D and 1931-S as one of the essential key-date anchors of the entire series. Finding high-grade circulated examples with sharp detail, clean surfaces, a bold mint mark, and rich, problem-free chocolate patina is becoming increasingly difficult. This choice specimen offers fantastic eye appeal, strong portrait definition, crisp wheat stalks, and smooth fields—making it a premier addition to any high-end Lincoln album, Dansco setup, or key-date collection.
