The 2003-P Lincoln Cent is one of the most common dates if not the most common date in the series. Coins can be found up to MS69 condition and maybe even close to perfect MS70 condition. The Mint struck over 3.3 billion making this a very common coin. In grades MS68 and MS69 it is one of the most affordable dates and might be the lowest priced circulation strike Lincoln Cent in MS68 or higher.
