Not as spectacular as the last 3 I posted, but nicer than the F12 I had. This is a very difficult coin to find in higher grades:   Edited by BadThad

Pop out some guesses....I know these are tough. The 1918D's mostly had advanced die wear, but I believe this one to be sharp. Hint: It's not an MS.

Full lines on the wheat stalks. Medium wear on high points of Lincoln cheek, beard and shoulder. I'm guessing obverse AU50, reverse AU55.

I'd agree with AU based on the very slight wear visible on Abe's cheekbone and coat. If significant luster remains (which I don't see in the photo) the details are I think compatible with an AU-55 grade.
My ignorance of cent grading may be showing, but the color doesn't look original to me. I suspect some kind of dipping or cleaning was done once upon a time.

I guess we know who got their economic stimulus check this week.

AUish details, but I am like Jaobler, looks like it may have seen some help.

At first I thought you said it was F12 and not the one that replaced it. If that was the case I was going to ask if I could buy it from you. Is this one of your finds from the coin show or just another great stash you have somewhere.

I'd pay AU price for this one and be happy to have it at that. Beautiful coin... Would look good in my set as it looks better than the AU I have in my set.

Based on the difference in the lighting in the two photos and the changes in the shadow, I believe the reverse color is off due to the photo but not in hand. It does seem to have been dipped. I would say AU 55.

Pennypincher - Sorry...I missed your question. This is from my main Lincoln collection.
