The 2017-S Enhanced Uncirculated Lincoln Shield cent is one of the most distinctive modern Lincoln cents ever produced. The San Francisco Mint created this special version for the Boys and Girls Clubs of America centennial celebration, recognizing the role of coin collecting in youth civic education. Approximately 210,000 of these coins were produced, making them among the lowest-mintage Lincoln cents of the modern era.
The Enhanced Uncirculated finish uses a combination of techniques to create a surface unlike any standard Mint product. Portions of the design receive a light frosting while other areas are burnished to a soft sheen, resulting in a multi-tonal effect that differs from both the mirror finish of a proof and the uniform luster of a satin finish coin. The "S" mintmark identifies San Francisco as the production facility. The limited mintage of 210,000 pieces, combined with strong collector demand, has kept values for this issue well above face value. The coin was sold in a special set alongside an Enhanced Uncirculated Roosevelt dime, also from San Francisco, creating a paired collectible that attracted both cent and dime specialists.
