In thirteen decades of continuous output several Lincoln cent issues that are especially difficult to source are considered key dates in the series. Struck by San Francisco, the 1926-S cent had the second-lowest output of the 1920s, with a mintage of only 4.5 million. Its measly output coupled with heavy use in commerce makes finding this coin in collectible grades somewhat difficult, thus in the numismatic world, the 1926-S has earned a "semi-key date" status and will command a premium in mint-state. We've got a stash of 1926-S specimens in well-preserved Fine quality and have priced them affordably to help you fill in your collection.
