The Lincoln cent was introduced in 1909 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth, marking a revolutionary moment in American coinage as the first U.S. coin to feature a historical figure rather than an allegorical representation of Liberty. This 1918-S Lincoln Penny is representative of World War I-era US coinage and features an RB designation for its copper toning. Now, the 1918-S Lincoln Penny is available online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1918-S Lincoln Penny features a Mint State 64 grade, indicating a coin with light, scattered contact marks and one or two heavier marks. The RB designation stands for Red-Brown and, per NGC standards, indicates a coin that has between 15% and 85% of its original reddish-orange color. Bright, satin-like luster greets the eye on this coin, with even, golden-copper color on both sides.
The obverse of the 1918-S Lincoln Penny features a bust of President Abraham Lincoln. Victor David Brenner’s obverse design features a right-facing profile portrait of Abraham Lincoln, based on a 1864 photograph by Matthew Brady, capturing the president’s distinctive features with remarkable dignity and detail.
On the reverse of 1918-S Lincoln Pennies, you’ll find the original Wheat Cent design for the series. This original reverse design featured two wheat stalks flanking the words “ONE CENT” and “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” symbolizing America’s agricultural abundance and earning the coin its popular nickname, the “Wheat Penny.” This simple yet graceful design by Brenner was used from 1909 through 1958, making it one of the longest-running reverse designs in U.S. coinage history and a beloved icon among collectors.
The 1918-S Lincoln cent, minted in San Francisco during the final year of World War I, had a relatively low mintage of 34,680,000 pieces compared to the Philadelphia issue that year. While not exceptionally rare, this date is moderately scarce in higher grades and is sought after by collectors completing date-and-mintmark sets of the wheat penny series.
