1918-D Lincoln 1c PCGS MS66 RD

Superb Grade-Rarity Gem Cent

Why we love it
The Lincoln cent series is the longest-running series in United States history and certainly represents one of the most complex sets one can build, considering how difficult early branch-mint Lincolns are in the Red Mint State grades. The 1918-D is a very tough date in Full Red, and this piece absolutely glows with a light lavender highlight. It's a beautiful piece with immaculate fields. Only a pair of coins are graded finer by PCGS (MS66+ and MS67). Numismatic history buffs will also note the 1918 Lincoln cents are the first to bear the initials of coin designer Victor David Brenner, or "VDB," under Lincoln's shoulder on the obverse.

Value
As one of the most popular series amongst collectors, an opportunity to acquire a Registry-Quality issue with such stunning eye appeal and scarcity is not to be missed. With the PCGS Price Guide coming in at $22,000 and the most recent auction record at $18,000, we are offering this coin via Make Offer for just $19,000. If one looks back just a few years, this coin would have brought between $25,000 and $35,000! We love the opportunity presented to buy these types of coins at the new market levels while the market is still waiting for improvement.
