Jaime Hernandez

The 1969-S Lincoln Cent is considered one of the more common dates from the Lincoln Cent series, especially since it is a modern issued coin. However, in MS66 condition it is underestimated as it is very difficult to find, even though easily available, it is not abundant as other dates in the series. In MS67 condition it is very scarce with less than two dozen known and none being known in higher condition.
