1918-D Cent, MS66 Red
Tied for Finest With CAC Approval
Impeccable Registry Quality

1918-D 1C MS66 Red PCGS. CAC. Ex: Bender Collection. The Duckor 1918-D cent is one of the finest pieces currently available to collectors. It is one of just three MS66 Red examples with CAC endorsement. The only finer coin is the D.L. Hansen piece, an MS67 Red PCGS specimen, but that coin is not recognized by CAC. Interestingly, NGC has not graded a single Red 1918-D cent finer than MS65, increasing the importance of this piece not only for PCGS Registry collectors but for Lincoln cent specialists overall. The quality is impeccable. This was one of the most conditionally rare pieces contained in the Duckor Collection when it was sold two years ago.

Both sides are sharp and satiny with rich pumpkin-orange luster. Sharp design elements complement a lack of abrasions, and even Lincoln's shoulder is devoid of the usual tiny planchet marks that often remain from striking. Close study of the surfaces fails to reveal significant carbon. Population: 11 in 66 (1 in 66+) Red, 1 finer. CAC: 3 in 66, 0 finer (6/22).
