Came in one of my boxes on Friday, she was actually an ender. 1918D, only 3 years away from a barber! I've never even found a wheat cent this old before. Thought I would share her. The edge is worn completely smooth, you can't even tell it once had reeded edges. Has the same smoothness a nickel has.

Wow thats a beauty find CRHstreetwalker. Your find actually reminded me to post my own 1918 I found a few weeks ago and never got the chance to post. In my box I was lucky enough to get two walking liberties. I have to say these are my favorite coins and I dead near passed out when I saw that as an ender.

Never thought Id find one when I started CRH a few months ago let alone 2 in one box. Again congrats on your walker!

congrats this is a nice coin! I like the fact that its 1918, most i've seen posted on here are later dates that makes this one special :thumbsup: I hope you don't intend on selling it..$10 bucks or even $20 isn't worth anything than seeing such a beautiful coin in your possession...good luck and I hope you find more WLs!

Is your 1918 a D mintmark? I think D were the fewest produced for the year.

Unfortunately for the 1918 one the edges are too worn down to see where it was minted unless it was a P mint. The other 1933 has an S mint mark which I found cool because I live in New York and almost never see S mint coins.

Spary it with orange paint so you don't loose it. Some of that grow in the dark paint.
