1918 Lincoln-Illinois Commemorative Half Dollar (50c)

The 1918 Illinois Centennial half dollar commemorates the state's 100th anniversary of admission into the Union. It's a notable issue, partly due to its historical significance and striking design featuring Abraham Lincoln. With a mintage of only 100,058, it also happens to be one of the scarcer classic commemoratives.

This coin, graded MS66 by CACG and adorned with a CAC sticker, has it all: strong eye appeal, a rich luster, and original surfaces. The coin displays minimal contact marks, and its surfaces are wonderfully preserved. The obverse shows a light, golden toning that accents Lincoln's profile, while the reverse showcases a frosty eagle with robust details. A standout piece for any collection.
