Just one piece of 8 wasn't enough....I found this one a couple days after the first one I bought from fellow board member RomanTheRussian. This one was an eBay purchase, and the colors in hand are great (much better than the eBay pictures).

 

That's a gorgeous coin.

 

Nice pickups. I bet they weren't very cheap though.

 

Oh my word, I doubt I have enough money in my bank account to cover those. Yikes. Very nice.

Not to bad of a price tag on those four. Had 'Good Cents' when I bought them

 

Couple toners I stumbled upon.

 

Two new Mercs

 

Busy night on Teletrade for me. Their photos.

 

Should prove interesting when I open it...I don't collect Lincolns per-say but the price was good for the roll!!

 

1968-S Proof Lincoln Cent. I lucked into this monster for $75 + $3.25 shipping. Colorfully toned S-Mint Memorial Lincoln Cent Proofs (PCGS or NGC graded) are a true rarity. (Edited for Log Potato's question below: I am sending this one into PCGS for crossing on Monday, I am hopeful, but you never know.)

​

 

This one going for a cross?

 

Got this one on Ebay. Like those hazy toned Ike proofs!

 

Very nice, but they look to have been in the dansco too long. Nice colors save the black.

 

Results from my latest Crossover attempt from NGC to PCGS.

Just recieved crossover results on some colorful Lincoln proofs I picked off eBay. Overall I am very happy happy with the results.


2 crossed at grade
3 downgraded
3 upgraded - one of the "upgrades" was color only, going from RB to RD.


1956 - was NGC PF67RB now PR67RD. Not real colorful, but it was trying.





1957 - Crossed at grade PR66RB





1961 - Crossed at grade PR65RB. I didn't realize this looked so bad. I surprised it didn't downgrade.





1961 - Was NGC PF66BN now PCGS PR67RB





1961 - was NGC PF67RB now PR66RB





1961 - was NGC PF67BN now PR66RB





1968-S - was NGC PF65BN now PR66RB







1936 - The only non proof in the group. Was NGC MS67RD now MS66RB

 

I was planning on buying that, but apparently I missed it. You got it for a bargain.

 

DId you bid? I wasn't sure you were going to bid--had I known I would have let you have it. I went as much as I thought it was worth, as I have a lot of Ikes now, as of recent.
