This 1979-S Lincoln Cent Type 1 & Type 2 Proof Set captures a fascinating moment in modern minting history. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, both varieties represent the subtle yet significant change made to the mintmark during production. Each coin boasts deep mirrors and frosted details, resulting in a stunning Ultra Cameo finish that enhances Lincoln’s iconic portrait.

Graded NGC PF69 RD Ultra Cameo, these coins are nearly flawless examples of proof craftsmanship. The “Red” designation (RD) confirms that both coins retain their original fiery copper luster, free from spots or fading. Collectors prize this set not only for its visual appeal but also for the story it tells about evolving mint technology and precision.

The Type 1 coin displays a filled “S” mintmark, while the Type 2 showcases a clear, sharp “S” — a change that marked the Mint’s transition toward higher-quality dies. Owning both types allows collectors to appreciate the attention to detail that defines U.S. Proof coinage. Together, they form a perfect educational and collectible pairing.

Encased in matching NGC holders with San Francisco labels, this set adds prestige and uniformity to any collection. Whether you’re a Lincoln cent enthusiast or a proof coin connoisseur, this set delivers rarity, beauty, and historical significance in one elegant presentation.
