Product Details

The 2018-S 1c (Lincoln Shield Cent) found in the 2018-S Silver Reverse Proof Set is a striking, collectible coin minted at the San Francisco Mint. It features an inverted finish where the coin's design elements are highly mirrored and the flat background fields are frosted, offering a beautiful contrast to traditional proof coins.While the larger Silver Proof Set is famous for containing 90% silver coins (like the half-dollar, dime, and quarters), the cent itself is not made of silver. Instead, it is highly sought after by collectors because the 2018-S set marked the first time the U.S. Mint offered a reverse proof finish. The 1-cent coin, alongside the nickel and dollar coin, was a circulation strike rendered in the special reverse proof finish for this anniversary release.
