Design and Specifications of the 1910 Cent
The 1910 Cent, also known as the Lincoln Wheat Cent, was part of the series first introduced in 1909 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth. This coin marked a significant departure from previous cent designs, as it was the first U.S. coin to feature a portrait of a real person rather than an allegorical figure.
The Lincoln Cent quickly became popular with the public and has remained in circulation for over a century, making it one of the longest-running coin designs in U.S. history.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of a 1910 Cent significantly impacts its value. Well-preserved examples with strong details and minimal wear are highly sought after by collectors. Coins in uncirculated condition (MS60 and above) command substantial premiums, with those grading MS65 or higher being particularly valuable.
For the San Francisco mint coins, the condition is even more critical due to their lower mintage. High-grade S-mint cents from 1910 are considerably rarer and more valuable than their Philadelphia counterparts.

Original mint luster is a crucial factor in determining the value of uncirculated 1910 Cents. Coins with full, cartwheel luster are highly prized. Toning can also add to the coin's appeal, with attractive, natural toning often enhancing value.
The quality of the strike is another important consideration. Well-struck coins with sharp details, particularly on the wheat ears and Lincoln's hair, are more desirable. For the San Francisco mint coins, the presence of a strong, clear mint mark is also valued by collectors.
While not common, any error coins or varieties, such as doubled dies or repunched mint marks, could significantly increase the value of a 1910 Cent.
