Celebrate one of America’s most iconic coins with this 1979-S Lincoln Cent Type 1 & Type 2 Proof Set, beautifully certified by NGC as PF69 RD Ultra Cameo. Featuring both mintmark varieties, this matched pair captures a fascinating transition in U.S. Mint history—making it an essential addition for any Lincoln or proof coin collector. Each coin exhibits deeply mirrored fields and frosted details, bringing Abraham Lincoln’s classic portrait to life with stunning clarity.

The Type 1 (filled “S”) and Type 2 (clear “S”) mintmarks distinguish these proofs, marking a subtle yet important evolution in San Francisco Mint craftsmanship. With a total mintage of just 3,677,175, these coins represent the pinnacle of late 1970s proof production. NGC populations remain low, with only 659 Type 1 and 1,003 Type 2 examples graded PF69 RD UCAM, making this pair highly collectible.

Both coins are encapsulated with a special Abraham Lincoln label, highlighting their historical and artistic significance. The rich red luster and Ultra Cameo contrast are hallmarks of top-tier proof quality—nearly perfect examples that fall just short of a perfect PF70. Together, they offer collectors a side-by-side look at the artistry and evolution of modern U.S. proof coinage.

Presented as a matched set, these coins are ideal for display or gifting to any collector passionate about U.S. history and numismatics. Whether you’re expanding your proof set collection or adding a standout conversation piece, this 1979-S Lincoln Cent Type 1 & Type 2 Set is a timeless treasure.
