1918-S Lincoln Cent AU
Struck during a pivotal year in global history, this 1918 copper penny from the San Francisco Mint showcases the enduring artistry of Victor David Brenner. The obverse features a detailed portrait of Abraham Lincoln, a design that has become one of the most recognized faces in American coinage. On this specimen, the legendary president faces right, accompanied by the word LIBERTY and the date 1918, with the distinct S mint mark visible below the year. The reverse of the coin is dedicated to the classic wheat ears design, framing the denomination ONE CENT and the country of origin, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Above this central inscription, the traditional motto E PLURIBUS UNUM is featured. This specific coin has survived the decades in Almost Uncirculated condition, meaning it retains much of its original detail and luster from the day it left the California minting facility.
