The 2012-S Proof Lincoln Cent is the third year in which the Mint struck the Lincoln Cent with a Shield Reverse design. Most 2012-S Proof Lincoln Cents were well struck ranging from about PR67 - PR69 Deep Cameo condition. Perfect Proof 70 Deep Cameo coins were much more difficult to find but enough examples were struck to meet collectors demand.
