Post your Lincolns!

Thank

Thank you so much! New to this and just happened to acquire quite a few very nice mint condition coins! Some in cases graded and some in the paper envelopes from the US treasury! Very cool. Trying to figure all of this out is definitely a mountain. Thanks for the help!

I have an off center strike version.
Edit: this one is authentic! You know how those ancients are all struck off center, this proves it!

 

So it was gouged by the mint or by an owner? If the mint did it isn’t that very valuable?

Playing around with some stuff that’ll eventually make its way into my registry.

 

Here's a 51 proof cent graded PF65 RD:

 

It's unfortunate, but this one is slightly damaged . . . . . .

We would have to see a pic of the coin in order to give an answer.

Some gouges are mint made and could be designated as an error along with a grade. These sometimes come back in a slab with the Genuine designation, but if submitted to the grading company using the Error service label could receive a Mint Error designation with a numerical grade.

Or the gouge could have been put there after it left the mint as part of circulating for many years. These will never get a numerical grade, but will be put in slabs with the Genuine designation and a code or description of the damage.

 

Those are SWEET! I'd trade my left testicle for that 1963!

 

I do have another but there’s a small bit of carbon on the reverse. No testicle needed for this one.

 

I'm a sucker for this 50's frosty field luster.

 

Frosty luster with some nice toning.

 

Almost discarded....until I caught a glimpse of a rainbow on this AU coin. Damn, another ugly toner into the collection!

 

I'm a sucker for green toning and die polish lines. Someone went crazy with the polishing, it seems to even extend into the O in ONE. Coin has a mirror-like luster from all the polishing. The toning resembles the toning typically found on proofs.

 

Some crazy "aura/IDT luster" on this one, one of the better examples I've ever seen. Just realized tonight I have almost 20 55-S's in my primary collection now!

 

I don’t have 20, but only a couple of these.

 

Over the decades I've come across so many interesting 55-S's I couldn't resist. I started collecting as a "one of each" guy but have moved to multiples of each. There just too many nice, interesting and plain cool coins out there!

 

I'm at the point where I need to break my memorial binder into two separate ones. I already did with my wheats, forced to move all my 1950-58 into a separate binder. I have so many nice 50's - just had to keep those special ones that fall into my lap.

Almost a full page devoted to 1960D's.
