While the 1918-D Lincoln cent is common in circulated, it is decidedly rare in the Red Gem grades, with only a handful of pieces known in MS66RD or better. The 1918-D is notorious for some soft strikes, caused by worn dies being used beyond their normal operating lifespan. So, be choosy on the purchase and avoid examples that exhibit weak strikes or other issues. As always, pieces with decent color and strong strike will provide more satisfaction to the eye and possibly yield a better return on investment when the time comes to sell.
Obverse Description
Bust of Abraham Lincoln framed by IN GOD WE TRUST on the top periphery. The word LIBERTY to the left of the portrait and the date and mintmark (If any) positioned on the right side.
Reverse Description
Wheat ears flanking the words ONE CENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM on the top perimeter.
