The 1917-S Lincoln cent is a semi-key coin in all grades and becomes notably scarce at a grade level as low as XF40. Uncirculated examples are tough, as is the case for so many mintmarked Lincoln cents from this period in the series.
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.
