A picture of the obverse of my 1959D NGC MS67RD Lincoln Memorial

 

WingedLiberty, Thanks, that is a great introduction for the Memorials. Car nostalgia - that was the time when every car manufacturer had a very distinctive body style and it changed every year. Most people looked ahead to September when the new look rolled off the asembly line. You could take one look and tell what year a car was built. That Caddy tells it all!

 

I realize I am a day late, but it just arrived today. BTW, the green is much more intense in hand.

 

Where's the reverse pic?

 

1959 - A real nice, two-coin set I picked up:

 

I am not very good at taking pictures of my coins. I will do my best to take and post pictures of the ones that I do have pictures of already

 

Sorry badthad, I was trying too respond too your post about the reverse. i am a newb at this site so bear with me.

 

It will help if you crop to coin.

 

My colorfully-toned 1960 Proof Lincoln Set (small date and large date).

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.

 

In order 1960 Sm Date obverse and reverse and 1960 LgDt obv and rev both in M67RD NGC

 

In order 1960D Sm Dt Obv and Rev and the 1960D Lg Dt Obverse and reverse both in NGC MS67RD

 

1960 - Over the years I've assembled an entire BU roll of 1960 small dates as part of my memorial roll set collection. Here's the roll and a sample of the coins in it....all are 63-65RD.

 

End roll toner from a 60D roll I bought.

 

Found this old shot of a nice toner I found roll searching an OBW.

 

A random old picture I found, large date/small date. I thought I had pics of all my SD proofs, I have quite a few....guess not. :rollling:

 

One of my fav 60SD proofs, angled shots to show the color, it has a nice, deep red toning. One on my list for PCGS someday. I think it has a shot a 69.

 

How about a clip? I bought this not only for the clip, it's one of the highest grade error coins I had ever seen. A show dealer had a binder full of errors and the luster on this is the first thing that caught my eye. I think it's 66RD.
