1918-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS. The typical Mint State 1918-S
<B>1918-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS.</B></I> The typical Mint State 1918-S cent is brown or red/brown with poorly struck design elements. David Lange, in his <I>The Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents,</B></I> states that: "Any fully red coin is a rarity, while fully red <I>and,</B></I> fully struck gems are extremely rare." Only about 120 Uncirculated '18-S cents have been assigned the fully Red status by PCGS and NGC.<BR> The Gem offered in this lot yields a better-than-average strike, with the only noticeable softness occurring on the lower right side of the right wheat stalk. Lustrous orange-gold color dominates minimally abraded surfaces. Some light toning spots are scattered over each side.
