Wow, that is a spectacular clad coin, especially the reverse which looks MS68 to me. Are you submitting that?
Thank you! I hadn't planned on submitting it. It's for my toner Dansco. It's got a few nicks above George's brow that IMO limit the grade.
I bought this in a lot of BU Lincolns for $25 on Ebay. There were about 50 pieces in a tube, so $.50/each. There were some nice blazers in there I'll have to post at some point, but this toned 52-D really stood out to me so I sent in to NGC: There's a small planchet flaw about LIBERTY on the obverse but overall I was pleased with both the cent and the grade.
Not the purdiest girl on the block, but I'm happy with her! She came in a lot purchase here on CT. Per piece, she came to just under $10.
I just pulled the trigger on this one for $28.36 + $4 shipping. This one is from Europe and I won't see it for a couple weeks so these are the sellers pics. I am hoping it hasn't been cleaned.
