1918 Lincoln Cent. MS-66 RD (PCGS). CAC.,Exquisite satin surfaces are bathed in vivid golden-red luster that provides outstanding visual appeal. A razor sharp strike and expert surface preservation are also strong suits for this highly desirable Gem. While certainly not a major rarity in an absolute sense, the 1918 is the scarcest Philadelphia Mint cent from the late 1910s. High quality Mint State examples, as here, are scarcer than those of the 1916, 1917 and 1919.,From the ESM Collection.,
