The 1929-S Lincoln Cent is one of the more common dates from the San Francisco Mint, from the teens and twenties. However, it is much scarcer than most Lincoln Cents from the 1930's and after.

In MS65 condition they are scarce with about 600 examples known. In MS66 it is very scarce with about 100 examples known and none known in MS67 or better.
