1909 S Lincoln Cent

The United States San Francisco Mint produced 1,825,000 1909 S lincoln cents.  This makes the 1909 S cent the fourth lowest minted lincoln cent in the series. The 1909 S VDB, 1931 S and 1914 D lincoln cents all had lower mintage numbers.

While it is not as scarce as the 1909 S VDB lincoln cent, it still carries a hefty price.  The 1909 S Lincoln  Cent prices start at around $100 for a G-4 1909 S lincoln cent, $225 for a EF-40 1909 S Cent and $375 for a MS-63 1909 S Lincoln Cent.  While these 1909 Linoln cents were only produced in 4 times the quantity of the 1909 S VDB Lincoln Cents, they cost much less than 25% of the price of the 1909 S VDB.  These prices are estimates and are subject to change.

I would highly recommend that you purchase a Mint State 1909 S Lincoln Cent for your lincoln cent collection.  You can buy a great quality Mint State 1909 S Lincoln cent for under $500.  However, if your budget prevents you from buying a Mint State lincoln cent, don’t worry, buy the best grade you can afford.
