Lot Description: Gem Red 1918-D Lincoln Cent Just Two Finer at PCGS 1918-D Lincoln Cent. MS-66 RD (PCGS). This is a highly significant offering for the advanced Lincoln cent collector, a true condition rarity in a survivor of the Denver Mint's 1918-dated issue. Both sides retain full, vivid mint color and display a remarkably full strike. The surfaces have come down to us without acquiring so much as a single mentionable blemish, with matte-like texture in the fields that delightful frame richly frosted devices. A substantial mintage of 47,830,000 pieces conceals the rarity of the 1918-D in Uncirculated condition. Even in lower Mint State grades this issue is relatively scarce, while as a full Red Gem it is rare. One of the most significant condition rarity Lincoln cent offerings we have handled, just two examples have been certified finer by PCGS. A coin that is sure to attract significant attention from specialists and Set Registry participants. PCGS Population: 10; 2 finer in this category (MS-67 RD finest). PCGS# 2509. NGC ID: 22BW.
