General Notes: Philly-minted 1917 Lincoln cents are common in all circulated grades and even so into the Gem range. There are adequate supplies of uncirculated specimens to satisfy collector demand. Though, as with any early Lincoln cent, the 1917 Philadelphia cent is a little tougher in grades above MS65. Seek well-struck examples with decent color for the best return.
