The 1918-S Lincoln cent is a common coin in circulated grades and, naturally, scarcer in the uncirculated grades. Brown and Red-Brown specimens dominate the pool of available uncirculated specimens and are available with decent frequency in the marketplace. Seek pieces with decent strike and even color whenever possible.
