1952 One Cent PR RB Values

Details

The 1952 proof Lincoln cent is mostly found in the PR64-PR67 grade range, though enthusiasts should aim for spotless pieces with even color and excellent eye appeal. Registry set collectors and set collectors often set their sights on proofs with strong cameo frosting on the devices and lettering and will pay strong premiums for such examples.

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.
