New purchase for the 1847 Mint Set.

 

Replacing coins I sold when I was younger!

I sold three coins about 20 some odd years ago that I regret and as an older adult I decided last year that I would replace these as I could afford them. I replaced my 1937 D 3-legged buffalo last year (on my profile page in the error folder). Today I found an affordable specimen of a 1942/41 merc. It's been cleaned but NGC slabbed it as xf cleaned. Now if I can just lay my hands on an 1876 Proof seated quarter I will have all three back...and this time for keeps!

 

1938 D/S rainbow toned buffalo

Picked this one up today. Nice D/S.

 

Lance,
Nice CBH, and I agree - David Kahn does have nice coins -
he bought a couple from me at Baltimore
and let me tell you, he's VERY choosy. !!

 

Wooley I'm glad that you posted that. I actually had my 1942/1 XF40 for sale on this forum, but needed the money then... I actually turned down 3 offers and took it off the market. Have a feeling I would regret selling that forever.

 

I picked up this 1967 SMS-Uncirculated and 1988 Proof.

In a long story involving wasps, I lost the reverse photos. But, the reverses are nice

I hope you enjoy them.

My colorfully-toned 1960 Proof Lincoln Set (small date and large date). Both of the coins below were graded the same by PCGS ... PR65 RB.

The 1960 Small Date Story: The 1960 small date variety was produced early in the year, but several experts at the Mint were concerned that the zero in date was too small and might lead to the interior of the die to break away, which if it happened, would cause the numeral to fill in (as it actually did on some 1930-D Lincolns). The Large Date variety soon replaced the Small Date and was produced in much larger quantities. The estimated mintage of the 1960 small date was a lowly 2 million -- while an estimated 586 million 1960 large date cents were coined.


This led to a huge spike in interest from numistmatists and speculators for the 1960 Small Date Lincoln. In the Summer of 1960, the coin dealer below offered to give any person a new Pontiac convertible for a $50 (face) bag of 1960 Small Date Lincolns.

 

After two years of lusting for one, I got a westpoint mint dime.

 

OK, my only toned proof Lincoln. It's apparently not in the right brand of plastic though.

 

Very nice Brandon!! 1961 was a super year for toned proof Lincoln's. Yours is one of several different toning patterns and colors for the year.

 

Just bought....

 

And this too.... 79S type 2

 

For those of you who like IHC's. This came from Rick Snow last year. One of my favorites. A 65RB that is just a tick away from 66.
Lance.

 

Ooohhh and almost forgot 2009 lincoln CDDR-027
