The 1918 Lincoln-Illinois Commemorative Coin honored Abraham Lincoln and the centennial of Illinois statehood, which occurred in 1818. Designed by George T. Morgan, Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint, the coin was struck at the Philadelphia Mint with an authorized mintage of 100,000 pieces, celebrating both the state’s anniversary and its most famous native son. This coin has an MS65 certification with near-perfect surfaces and an attractive surface luster. Now, the 1918 Lincoln-Illinois Commemorative Half Dollar is available online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1918 Lincoln-Illinois Commemorative Half Dollar is available in Mint State 65 condition. The designs on each side are crisply struck, creating impressive relief, with even toning across both fields.
The coin served a dual commemorative purpose: marking 100 years since Illinois achieved statehood in 1818 and honoring Abraham Lincoln, who spent much of his life in Illinois before becoming president. Proceeds from sales helped fund the Illinois Centennial Commission’s celebration and supported various memorial projects throughout the state.
The obverse of the 1918 Lincoln-Illinois Commemorative Coin presents a right-facing portrait of Abraham Lincoln based on a statue by Andrew O’Connor that stands in Springfield, Illinois. The design captures Lincoln’s distinguished profile with dignified detail, surrounded by inscriptions identifying him and the commemorative nature of the coin. This portrayal emphasizes Lincoln’s connection to Illinois and his rise from the Prairie State to the presidency.
The reverse of the 1918 Lincoln-Illinois Commemorative Half Dollar features a representation of the Illinois State Seal, which includes an eagle perched on a rock holding a shield with stars and stripes in its talons and a banner in its beak. The sun rises on the horizon, symbolizing the dawn of statehood and new beginnings. The design incorporates the dates 1818 and 1918, bracketing the century of Illinois statehood being commemorated.
