Up for auction/sale is a tough early-date 1926-S Lincoln Wheat Cent in Fine (F) condition.

The 1926-S is widely recognized as one of the key semi-key dates in the Lincoln Wheat series. With a modest mintage of 4,550,000, it is notably scarce in higher circulated grades due to heavy circulation and poor strike quality typical of 1920s S-mint copper. Finding a problem-free example in solid Fine condition—boasting full wheat details, a sharp cheekbone, and a crisp, clear date—is a real prize for Lincoln Cent enthusiasts. This piece delivers great eye appeal and honest wear, making it a standout addition to any Whitman, Dansco, or binder collection.
