1931-S US Lincoln Wheat Cent

The 1931-S Lincoln Wheat Cent is a notable coin among collectors due to its low mintage, with only about 1.5 million coins produced. This scarcity contributes to its high demand and value in the numismatic market. The coin features the classic design of President Abraham Lincoln on the obverse, with the wheat ears on the reverse, symbolizing the agricultural roots of America. 

The 1931-S cent is particularly sought after in higher grades, with those in uncirculated condition commanding premium prices. It is recognized for its distinct characteristics, such as the well-defined details of Lincoln and the wheat stalks, which are indicative of a coin that has maintained its quality over the years. Collectors often look for coins with minimal wear, and those that exhibit striking details are prized even more.
