By the 1940s, the mintages of some Lincoln cents began approaching 1 billion, eventually topping that figure before the end of World War II. These high production figures mean pretty much all Lincoln cents made during the 1940s are extremely common, and that's certainly the case with the 1941 Philadelphia cent. There are adequate supplies in all circulated grades and most Mint State grades up to MS66 of all color designations.
Obverse Description
Bust of Abraham Lincoln framed by IN GOD WE TRUST on the top periphery. The word LIBERTY to the left of the portrait and the date and mintmark (If any) positioned on the right side.
Reverse Description
Wheat ears flanking the words ONE CENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM on the top perimeter.
