Matt; Your 1914 S Cent is just gorgeous. All the time you spent searching for one paid off. The luster is incredible. You must have been so stoked to finally find a Cent in the grade you were seeking. I just wanted to let you know that you made an excellent choice and congratulate you on your new acquisition.

 

Hello Petronious;

I have several encased coins and do agree with you on their conductibility and allure. I know of a few collectors who have a vast amount of them in their collections. I like them because they are usually relatively cheap and affordable and make nice conversation pieces. I know that some of them encase older Cents and a few can get kind of pricey depending on the Cent that is displayed. Good luck in your future endeavors with encased Cents.

 

Yes CoinGuy-Matthew;

I would say that finding a 1916 D Cent in circulation is an exceptional find, but its value is probably only a couple of dollars, it that. It makes a nice filler in your cent album though. Congratulations on your discovery!

 

Thank you i figured it was not a show stopper just thought i would ask.

 

Nice proofs! I'd say wingedliberty is creating his own competition as there can't be enough killer early proofs to go around. I hope you guys keep posting them anyway.

Matt

 

Here's some light toning:

 

Some more toning:

 

my most recent cherrypick... I'm kinda proud of it so I'll show it again

 

Thank you

Really, I don't know which could be a right price for these tokens. I paid € 5 ($ 7) and I think it may be a bit expensive, but I liked it, and just for one the price is not a problem.

Just picked up this $10 eBay PR Lincoln a week or so ago. This and 12 other toned proof Lincoln eBay purchases are on the way to PCGS for grading and TrueViews. I'll have plenty to post in about a month.

 

Here are some crappy Lincolns with nice toning. I am just happy I had an epiphany with imaging, and can now capture the colors.

Nice 55 DDO there Chief, I still need one for my collection.

 

Thank you. It was a NGC MS61 and I did a crossover with PCGS and got AU58.
When I sent it to CAC I was hoping for the gold sticker.....but got the green.

 

I hate when that happens. I have a shipment that I'm getting ready to have crossed over to a few PCGS holders for my type set. Hopefully they will have the same opinion of the coins as NGC did.

 

Bought today for $4.00 im just curious if it was to be graded assuming it doesnt get body bagged what would it grade???? Beautiful rainbow toning though....

 

Hello Petronius;

Most encased cents go for a dollar or so here in Seattle, Washington, USA. I do think you paid a little too much for your encased cent, but as long as you like it, that is all that matters. As I said, the prices of encased cents usually go up the older they get. Once in a while one may find a semi-key or key cent in its enclosure. There are countless types of enclosed cents, as it was used for advertising for many years. I hope you will be able to find more enclosed cents in your travels. Good luck!

 

Woah, I haven't checked this thread in months and I come back to see that it has 62 pages! All glorious pennies!
