Jaime Hernandez

The 1929-P Lincoln Cent is one of the more common dates from the teens and twenties in the circulation strike Lincoln Cent series. It can be purchased in almost all grades at an affordable price, up to about MS65 condition. In MS66 condition it is scarce but hundreds of examples still exist. In MS67 condition it is much harder to find and expect to pay a much higher price than an MS66 example. Anything grading higher than MS67 is for serious collectors and commands a very strong price in this condition or higher.
