The 1926-S Lincoln cent was produced in approximately 4.6 million coins, a notably lower figure than the Philadelphia and Denver issues. The low mintage gives the 1926-S a meaningful premium and places it among the scarcer S-mint dates of the decade. The coin is available in lower circulated grades but becomes difficult to locate in Fine and above.
