I hope no one is OCD around here!
I posted them in the order I photographed them.
Some pictures were abysmal, so I had to go back and try them over again.
I still feel the depiction of luster is very difficult to convey with a still photo. These are even more vibrant than they appear. But I am keeping the settings constant so the color differences are not an artifact of the camera settings.

@robec and his collection of toned Lincoln Cents...

 

Funny

 

Nothing real special here. I bought it because of the initials partially missing.

 

Here is a few of my faves

 

Wife introduced me to toning I love it

 

Just snagged this on eBay. I can't wait to see it in hand. These are the sellers pics.

 

I have the P to go with it!

 

Cant stand them spots sometimes!

 

Recent find from a bag of Lincoln's.

 

I posted the first one before, but it has a companion that I also wanted to show.

This completes my 1927 group.

 

On to 1933. Having two 33's lets me turn one over in the display, so I see the front of the first one and the reverse of the second one. It's nice to show the backs once in a while.

 

1934 was the first year to introduce the long-tailed 3 that matched the style of the 9 and 6. Apparently this was always the intended typeface for the numerals. I happen to like the proportions of the rounded 3's - like on the 1933's in post #4056.

Since the second 1934 is a bit spotty on the front, but beautiful on the back, it is also shown in the display tray with the reverse up.



I purchased the top coin for 12.80. The other two mark the beginning of the 1934-1991 set I bought in a Dansco, so I figure them for $1.25 each. I'm glad I'm able to appreciate the original collector's efforts, and that the set he so carefully put together was able to find a good home.

Here's part of the set. I had already moved the other 160 coins into holders and these were waiting for more holders to arrive. I'll post pictures of these soon, I imagine.

 

I like the toning on yours.

 

howdy folks,

happy holidays.

recent buy.



peace,
