1955 S Lincoln Wheat Cent BU RD Copper Coin
1955 S Lincoln Wheat Cent BU RD Brilliant Uncirculated San Francisco Mint Copper Coin
This 1955 S Lincoln Wheat Cent is a stunning example of a copper coin from the San Francisco Mint. Designated as BU RD (Brilliant Uncirculated Red), this piece maintains its original mint luster and vibrant red copper color, which is highly sought after by collectors. The obverse features the iconic profile of Abraham Lincoln, while the reverse displays the classic two wheat stalks design. As an uncirculated specimen, it shows no signs of wear and remains in an exceptional state of preservation. The S mint mark indicates its production at the San Francisco Mint, adding to its historical appeal as one of the final years of the Wheat Cent series. This copper coin is housed in a protective holder to ensure its condition and visual appeal remain intact for any numismatic collection.
1955-S Lincoln Wheat Cent BU RD Copper Coin
Condition: This coin is in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition with a Red (RD) designation, indicating it retains most of its original mint luster and copper color. As a 1955-S mint mark, it was produced at the San Francisco Mint and represents the final year of operations for that facility until it reopened for coinage years later. The metal content is copper. This is a business strike type coin featuring the classic Victor David Brenner design. The coin is housed in a protective holder labeled as BU RD, though it does not carry a numeric grade from a third-party grading service. Historically, the 1955-S is a popular issue for collectors as the last "S" mint wheat cent of the original mid-century run.
