Expert Comments

Jaime Hernandez

The 1960-D Small Date Lincoln Cent is very common, well over a billion and half coins were struck. Examples in MS65 condition or lower can be easily obtained. In MS66 condition they carry a small premium but can be acquired fairly easy. MS67 condition is much tougher as there are less than 100 examples known. Any example in MS67 condition or higher is a tough and very nice coin for the issue.
