1918 Lincoln-Illinois Centennial. MS-68 (PCGS).Deep reddish-gold toning at the obverse rim fades to ice blue, then silver in the center. The reverse displays nearly an identical effect. Well struck with sharply impressed devices, the surface quality is superb and leaves nothing to be desired. Beautiful! Issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Illinois statehood. Abraham Lincoln, the states most famous one-time resident is depicted on the obverse. An excellent example for inclusion in a world class commemorative set.
