1954-S Lincoln cents are common in all grades, with vast numbers available as high as MS66. As is the case for so many 1950s-era Lincoln cents, supplies plummet in the MS67 grade range, with pieces grading higher proving rare.
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.
