The 1912-S Lincoln cent was produced in a mintage of approximately 4.4 million coins. The low San Francisco output makes the 1912-S a semi-key date, continuing the pattern of scarce S-mint Lincoln cents in the early teens. The coin is available but priced above common dates, particularly in grades above Fine where the small survival population in higher condition drives premiums.
