Description

1918 Lincoln Cent. MS-68 RD (PCGS). CMQ.

This virtually flawless example really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. Silky smooth surfaces exhibit vivid mint color of beautiful rose-red. The striking detail is razor sharp to full throughout the design, and the eye appeal is extraordinary. While there is no denying that the 1918 is one of the more plentiful early date Lincoln cents (the mintage is 288,104,634 circulation strikes), high quality Mint State examples are scarcer than those of 1916 and 1919. Near the pinnacle of numismatic preservation and quality, this full Red Ultra Gem is of the utmost condition rarity and belongs in the finest Lincoln cent collection on the PCGS Set Registry.

PCGS# 2506. NGC ID: 22BV.

PCGS Population: 3; 0 finer.

Estimate: $58000
