The 1952 Lincoln cent is one of the tougher 1950s-era Philadelphia one-cent coins, with relatively scant numbers in all of the Gem grades. By no means is the 1952 Philadelphia-mint Lincoln cent a categorically rare coin, though it is certainly a condition rarity in the grades of MS66 or higher.
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.
