Post some Lincolns!!!

Tell me about it. Courtesy of Heritage. The others they have sold went from $200 (NGC 2005) to $500. I was expecting a not so nice coin, but it really is pretty descent

Nice one AZ Jack!!!

 

Indeed, non-Lincoln collectors just don't understand our pain. It's a helluv a lot easier to find an S-VDB than nice "common date" coins like that 1919-S. For example, I don't think I'll ever find a sharply struck 25-D in red....and if I do, it will probably be priced higher than most key dates.

 

If you are looking for reds, how on earth did you get a 23-S or 24-S.

 

I agree with Thad. The red in the 1919 S is great. The 1939 is killer AJ. I debated buying some of these 30's-50's in toned RB. I have several.
The 4th photo is heavelnly! Did the last photo to show the true color.

 

There must be something about those 57-D's. Mine is a 66-RB. Yours looks to be the same.

 

Yep-66 RB

 

I'm still looking! LOL I have two 23-S's, EF40 and VF35 and an AU50 1924-S. I've been content with sharpness so far.

 

Good luck with those red - SERIOUSLY!

 

Any opinions. I try to use pics that show the good and bad in a coin. Sorry I post so many photos. I just think how interesting it is what different angles can do to a coin.

 

I can't figure out if that is a 50 or a 45. Interesting set of pix there.

 

This is my 1954-D MS65RB with red toning on the reverse. I don't know how this got MS65 with all these marks on the coin, should be lower. Oh well. But I liked the toning, and it cost me only $5. The pop is only 7/4 too

 

Goes to show you what you can do with lighting and angles. Strong enough lighting and using angles will cut right through a brown patina.

 

Technically, there's no way that's a 65. However, eye-appeal seems to go a long way with TPG's and this coin must have a lot of it.

 

1970s lincoln

Found him yesterday...he's like part of the family now...lol:mouth:

 

Here's my 1915 with Coin Care on it. I posted without oil on the earlier photos. Consequently, you may notice that the black spot to the right of the 5 is gone in the non oiled previos photos and the spot there is gone as well as the grime in the 5 itself is gone. It soaked in heavy Coin Care for a while and this it up and it easily removed. I tried this a long time ago in the same area and it wouldn't budge without undue force. How would you store your coins. I like the Coin Care photos, and enjoy the coin much more to view and enjoy. Remember oils naturally interact with coins so why not apply clean oil properly to coins with dirt and virdigris to loosen and remove slowly over a period of time. Store them as you like- with or without the oil. Coins in albums I never oil as they will attract dirt and dust. Only coins in air-tights or similar.

 

The biggest difference I see is that you are now taking much better pics. It is still a nice AU coin.

 

wow boss! from the first pics it looks like a 50 at most but the second shots make it look au58 or even unc although after seeing the first pics i know it's not unc.

 

Nice 15 Boss!!!!

 

Upgraded my 31 S. Thanks Jack!!!! Nice one.
