Philly-minted 1917 Lincoln cents are common in all circulated grades and even so into the Gem range. There are adequate supplies of uncirculated specimens to satisfy collector demand. Though, as with any early Lincoln cent, the 1917 Philadelphia cent is a little tougher in grades above MS65. Seek well-struck examples with decent color for the best return.
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.
