CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

The strike is average, and the color is better than average. There are no obvious imperfections, though there are some minute scratches in the obs. field. There is some toning starting on the obs, in a cone shape, starting out at the Y in LIBERTY, and expanding under the cheek and to the 1 in 1975.

Expert Comments

Jaime Hernandez

The 1975-P Lincoln Cent came well struck and examples up to MS66 are very common. In MS67 condition they are much scarcer, however with enough searching examples in this condition can be found or purchased. Anything grading higher than MS67 condition is considered rare.
