The 1918-P Lincoln cent is very well struck for the most part.

This is also the first year after 1909 in which Victor David Brenner's initials re-appeared on the Lincoln cent. However, this time they placed the V.D.B. initials on the obverse of the coin instead of the reverse. From 1918 to 2009 the V.D.B. initials are located on Lincolns shoulder.
