So, I went to a coin show to try to fill in some gaps in my MS Lincoln cent set. I'm currently working on the decades of 40s and 50s and here's what I found. (Note, I also found the steelies but I cannot photograph them for the life of me...too darn reflective! Any suggestions?)

 

no the ones with the s mint mark are. but the others mostly are about AU

 

This 1943 is almost zinc less.there zinc only above 1c a bit on tip of right wheat straw in rev

 

can not tell by photo it looks like a zinc coin

 

I will get a better closeup asap. but with a lop you can see it well were the zinc is not.but there zinc only in the darker areas on the rev Obv is 100% steel if didn't have in 2 air sealed holder it would rust.the holder's I have it in makes it real hard to get a good photo off James without opening it I do not want it to rust.

 

thank you, i dont want it to rust

 

This coin is AMAZING!!!!!!

 

just got the 54

 

A stamped/dated original box from the LP2 release event, stamped brochures and LP1, LP2, LP3 and LP4 rolls stamped and canceled at the release PO's.

 

I think you see were the zinc is 2/3 of Obv has a Very thin coat of zinc.
Close up of Rev @ CEN you can see how the zinc is its just not 100% coated there more like over spray spots


ff-topic: a bit
This Month Coin Values/Coin World has a great article on How Lincoln cent was crafted by Victor D Brenner & more

 

Impossible to image but this proof Lincoln has some really nice color.

 

My last try....

 

Man, I can't wait to see the TrueView of this one. I have a feeling I know just what it's going to look like. I also think it looks much better than the assigned grade. It's a beauty and extremely hard to find with that great color.

 

Check on eBay, I think you can get better deals

 

Thanks Bob, this one really is pretty but not as nice as yours. It's coming your way here shortly so you'll see it in hand. I've hurt my back trying to image this one and I give up, it's impossible to get it right. Your so right about "hard to find" with great color as I've been looking for one like this one since the photo contest with your beauty about two years ago. Bob you should post your 1938 proof...... It's so pretty......Joe

 

Here are Joe's photos of my 1938 from a contest 2 years ago. Very comparable to his new purchase.



Here is a TrueView of the contest coin.

 

Hey Coindexter, any ideas why PCGS only put a PR62 on your colorful Lincoln? Just from the photos, it looks like a PR64 at least. In any case it's really pretty and you got a fantastic deal!!


Robec, that 1938 is the BOMB!
