General Notes: The 1911-S Lincoln cent is one of the toughest semi-keys in the series beyond the most prominent regular-issue Lincoln rarities, including the 1909-S VDB, 1909-S, 1914-D, and 1931-S. While a scarce coin across the board, many examples offer good eye appeal thanks to the fact that most are well struck. The 1911-S Lincoln cent is rare in all Red uncirculated grades and is exceptionally so in MS65RD or better. Pressure from registry set collectors often pushes examples in the MS66RD range into five-figure pricing territory.
