- The budget and staffing cuts at the Mint after World War I affected the San Francisco facility particularly hard. Production of Lincoln cents in 1920 dropped off by nearly a hundred million coins from the previous year, down to a comparatively small 46,220,000 pieces. Quality, too, suffered, as almost all known examples of the 1920-S cent were struck using heavily worn dies prepared from equally worn hubs, resulting in an issue with chronically poor striking characteristics and seldom found sharply defined. Universally sharp definition to both sides and solid Gem Mint State quality define this PCGS MS-65 RB as a rare coin, one that is eagerly awaiting inclusion in an advanced Lincoln cent collection.
