2018-D Lincoln Head Cent

Celebrate U.S. coinage history with this Uncirculated 2018-D penny – continuing the Union Shield reverse design introduced in 2010 and used until the cent was retired from circulation in 2025. Struck by the Denver Mint, this coin bears the popular "D" mint mark.

The Shield reverse design followed the special Lincoln Bicentennial pennies of 2009, the Lincoln Memorial pennies of 1959-2008, and Lincoln Wheat pennies of 1909-1958. The Union shield dates to the 1780s and features 13 vertical stripes for the original states. It is seen on frescoes throughout the U.S. Capitol, and was widely used during the Civil War era with the inscription e pluribus unum ("out of many, one") signifying unity. For the 2018-D Lincoln cent's design, a horizontal scroll bears the denomination one cent.

With the U.S. Mint officially ending production of circulating cents in November 2025, earlier dates like this are increasingly sought after – especially by collectors seeking a complete collection.
