The 2018-S Proof Lincoln Shield cent was struck at the San Francisco Mint for the annual proof set, with a production of approximately 1.2 million pieces. The proof finish provides the deep mirror fields and frosted cameo devices that have defined American proof coinage since the mid-20th century. The Shield design's geometric patterns translate effectively to the proof format.
The 2018 proof set also contained a companion piece: the 2018-S Reverse Proof cent, a special issue that inverted the standard proof finish. The availability of both a standard proof and a reverse proof cent from the same year gave collectors an unusual opportunity to compare the two finishing techniques side by side. The standard 2018-S proof maintains the traditional format that has been the backbone of the annual proof set program.
