The 1916-S Lincoln Cent is considered a semi key date from Lincoln cents struck for circulation from 1909 - 1928, specifically for the S mintmark cents. The 1916-S appears to be one of the scarcer non-key dates struck at the San Francisco Mint in Uncirculated condition.

In 1916, the mintage of San Francisco cents dramatically increased atleast five fold from the previous year. However, the 1916-S Lincoln Cent is still scarcer than many of the earlier teen San Francisco struck cents, despite several of them having mintages lower than 5 million.

MS63: Based off Population Reports data, my conclusion is that about 250 coins exist in this grade. Of the 250 total estimate, approximately 100 of them may be mostly Brown in color. Approximately 120 are Red Brown in color and there may only be about 30 or so displaying Full Red surfaces.

MS64: Based off Population Reports data, my conclusion is that about 500 coins exist in this grade. Of the 500 total estimate, approximately 110 of them may be mostly Brown in color. Approximately 240 are Red Brown in color and there may only be about 150 or so displaying Full Red surfaces.

MS65: This is the highest known grade for this coin. Based off Population Reports data, my conclusion is that about 110 coins exist in this grade. Of the 110 total estimate, approximately 20 of them may be mostly Brown in color. Approximately 50 are Red Brown in color and there may only be about 40 or so displaying Full Red surfaces.
