Post your Lincolns!

oops.. forgot the big one.
99 is 62
98 is 65
00 is 66
... took awhile to complete it. Searched for years for the 99... found nearly a roll of 98's and 00's in that time and then finally broke down and got one at a reasonable price.

In all honesty, my guess was 64 / 65. However, I cheated and all I can say is you got screwed - royally.

 

No kidding. I should probably send the 2nd one to CAC. Maybe I'll get a gold sticker.

On a good day 65/66 on a bad day 64/65. I'd gladly take either one because a strong crisp strike is so hard to find. Mine is so weak it's embarrasing.

 

I would send it in to be regraded. Unless that thing has zero luster, it is under graded and probably by a lot. You go to shows I am sure. Have some one else look at it in hand and see if they do not agree.

 

That is how I have come to rationalize it, rlm. I've seen much better luster but I didn't feel it would be held back more than a grade, if at all.

The grades, in order, are 64 and 63, for those wondering.

I feel your pain..

Here's my 65..
I mean 64..
uh.. make that 63....

 

Top -63
Bottom - 64

NICE NICE NICE COINS! This is a TOUGH date!

Where the heck do you manage to find these well-struck tough dates?

 

What the? I got 'em backwards!!! No matter, I like the second one better.

 

1939-S Hersey Brown S/s???

 

A little pop of color on this raw proof Lincoln i bought on ebay ... PCGS graded it PR65RB

 

I love the reverse toning on this one. Still haven't found any radioactive toners, but I imagine one day I'll get lucky. Do proofs tone more vividly than business strikes?

 

Wacha think ?

Going through some of my old wheats I saw this odd print of the ONE on this 1939.

Is this cause from die inclusion ?

Another 37D whilst we're at it!

 

Most likely a pocket knife or a small chisel, IMHO.

 

I'll see your 39'

 

Dies were a little tired, but it has nice color and luster.
Lance.

I love the obv!
