1941 One Cent PR RD Values
Details
1941 Lincoln proof cents aren't particularly scarce, though they are more difficult to find than their later-date proof counterparts struck during since the 1950s. These early 1940s proofs are generally encountered in the PR64-PR66 range, though some exhibit ispotting, stains, or uneven coloration. Collectors and other who wish to buy nice examples should seek pieces with excellent eye appeal, especially as plenty of nice examples exist.
Obverse: Bust of Abraham Lincoln framed by IN GOD WE TRUST on the top periphery. The word LIBERTY to the left of the portait and the date postioned on the right side.
Reverse: Wheat ears flanking the words ONE CENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM on the top perimeter.
