1947-S Copper Wheat Cent ICG MS63 RB Penny
1947-S Copper Lincoln Wheat Cent ICG MS63 RB
This 1947-S Lincoln Wheat Cent is a professionally graded uncirculated copper coin, certified by ICG with a grade of MS63 RB (Red Brown). The S mint mark signifies its origin from the San Francisco Mint, a favorite among collectors for its historically lower production numbers compared to Philadelphia. This copper penny maintains a significant amount of its original mint luster with an attractive blend of red and brown toning, making it a standout addition to any copper coin collection. Securely housed in a protective ICG slab, this piece is preserved in high-grade condition, showcasing the classic wheat reverse design that was discontinued over sixty years ago.
1947-S Lincoln Wheat Cent ICG MS63 RB Copper Penny
Condition: This specimen is graded by ICG as MS63 RB, indicating a Mint State 63 choice uncirculated condition with a Red-Brown color designation. The coin displays a blend of original mint luster and natural copper toning. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this copper penny features the classic Victor David Brenner design, which includes the profile of Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and two wheat ears on the reverse. The historical context of this 1947-S issue places it in the post-World War II era of American numismatics, characterized by the return to standard copper-alloy compositions. As a business strike type, it retains sharp details for the assigned grade and remains protected within a professional grading service slab.
