103 Days of Lincoln Cents

You know how they will bag almost anything for something. I just send them in and hope for the best, and if I disagree I send them in again within reason. Usually there is a silver lining in every submission. I say go for it. Many of the coins you have that are raw would probably do well even if you have tried once. I like buying slabbed for the no hastle factor, but sometimes I like the anticipation of a submission and the excitement of getting good grades back on a raw coin purchase. Fees? who cares, I'm buying tuition. JMO

lkeigwin I like that 31-D - a lot!

 

Almost missed this one

 

Me three! It's a VERY sweet coin!

 

I only have one offering for today. My picture library gets a little spotty here.
I really envy all you - rln, badthad, coppermania, etc - who are set up to take your own pictures!

 

It's soooooo easy and cheap to take coin pictures. I'm using an old Canon SD700IS by hand along with a $25 desklamp from Lowes. I liked the old Canon so much I bought a second one on the used market for like $90 a couple of years ago as a backup. So, for just $115 you too can take "good enough" coin pictures!

 

Well Thad, those are some amazing photos. You set a fine example to upstart collectors and how to image without having a brain hemmorage.

 

I've been out of the loop for a week, we're already in the 30's! The 1930 has a lamination on the obverse.

 

Thanks....you mean a wallet hemmorage. LOL

 

If you're talking PCGS grades those are some pricey Lincolns!

'35-S @ $12,000
'47 @ $8,000
'48 @ $9,750
'53 @ $10,000
'54 @10,000

...and many others in 4 figures.

If NGC, well, that's a different story.

1932

 

Classic red

 

Here's my 32's, actually pretty nice pieces.

 

I hope this tones up real nice someday in my safe. Until then it is pretty cool that it is still red after 80 years.

 

That coin doesn't fit your collection. Are you having a tough time finding a bn toner?

 

Exactly. Coins in this decade are such low value in BN people just don't have them certified. When coins in 64/65 RD hover around 100 bucks, why not buy one. After 33 it gets even worse. With such a long running series, it is inevitable, with huge mintages that prices would suffer. Bank rolls of coins in these dates exist and are quite affordable.

 

Just waiting for them fourties to come... I can play with you guys then.
