The 1948 Lincoln cent is one of the scarcer Philadelphia-minted Lincoln cents of the 1940s, proving a tough coin in grades of MS65 and higher. Buyers should seek examples with rich color, strong strike, and overall nice eye appeal.
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.
