nice mercs and frankies!

hey swish, is the color on that bottom ancient what they call a "hard green patina?" ... that's nice looking!

 

no, it's actually what they call verdigris, or corrosion, or whatever. the coin was cheap ($5), and i liked the reverse design, so i picked it up. normally, that much corrosion would make me run from the coin.

 

nicest looking corrosion i've seen!

 

Wanna borrow my sandblaster...

 

Although I have a few of these already I couldn't pass on this one. It arrived today.

I'm not rabid about commemoratives. But some of them are so darned pretty, don't you think? Irresistible.
Lance.

 

I tend to be a tad rabid. Picked this up a few weeks ago.......







Raw and worldly with a cat scratch goin' through CC's eye, but the colour got me.

 

why'd you let your cat play with it? lol. nice coin!!

 

lkeigwin and green ... Nice Columbians!!!

 

I have a feeling this thread will light up like a Christmas Tree after the Chicago ANA Convention. We are going to have a fair amount of coin talk members present, and with such a large boarsh area, there will be some serious money trading hands.

 

Ditto!

 

Here's mine. First slabbed coin but its a beaut.

 

Nice '09 VDB LincolnCent!

 

that's a nice VDB ... looks better than a 62

 

I agree MS-63-64!!!!
Grader's must have been or just rushed it thur.Maybe Ngc has put a quota on graders ? but sure missed that grade Big time!
:kewl:

 

It is a nice looking coin but you are looking at an image using one light. Grade looks right to me.

 

I agree to disagree. I have seen a few MS-63-64RB 1909 the look the same as that on in a Pcgs slab to. but I am no expert noway shape or form.
just saying

 

I would think a 63 is within reach of that coin, all-be-it doubtful, but there is just no way that would make a 64.
