So while on Military duty today, in my travels I went to a location where I was able to meet the Incredible Mr Robec. By the way Robec thank you again for taking time out of your day and meeting up with me. I hope to do it again soon. He was nice enough to take me to a local coin shop where we were able to thumb thru some Lincoln Proof and I found a few new Lincolns to give a new home too. I will take some pics later and post but here is a quick run down of what I bought:
1936 Toned Proof @ $16.50
1961 Toned Proof @ $1.25
1968 Toned Proof @ $1.50
1969 Toned Proof @ 1.00
1970 Toned Proof @ 1.00
1974 Toned Proof @ .30

Again thanks Robec I had a great time.

I will post my bad pics tomorrow and when I get the chance I will send to Robec for imaging. The 36 has some great colors to it but they had it marked as imperfection I am assuming because of a few carbon spots that look like little rainbows on it when viewed thru the loupe.

Like I said bad photos lol still working on my image skills. These I took using my phone. Anyways here is the 1936 proof I picked up for $16.50 and the 1970 for $1.00 thanks to Robec. I will be sending these off to him for imaging as soon as he has time. Thanks again Robec for the lead on this great find.

Great deal on the 36 proof. I wish I could get something like that for that price!

u need to send that 36 to badness and see what he can do with it. Still a great buy !,,,, spots like that can be trickly to condition. Thad, what's your opine on the carbon spots... treatable ?

I tried taking better images of the 1936 Lincoln Proof I picked up for $16.50 with Robec. Still not as good as some of the other photographers here but hey I am trying lol.

Here is the 1970-S I picked up for $1.00

SSG_Gonzo · Dec 20, 2012

Picked these up at melt value.

SSG_Gonzo · Dec 20, 2012

Heres another Lincoln Proof I picked up while I was with Robec. I got this one for $1.00 as well. It is hard for me to capture the colors this beauty has but for now it will have to do.

Found this one in my change

Nothin impresive but they are mine. The second 64 here I was told was burnt but I just dont see it??? Maybe I can get some input from you guys on it.

SSG_Gonzo · Dec 20, 2012

That reminds me of the old way to submit coins to the TPG's: coin in a polybag inside a PVC flip. I just started to image my toned ASE's as well. Here is one.
