Post a Toned Coin

I kept this one for a long time, but eventually sold it to Charmy, The Penny Lady. It's a conditional rare PCGS 67RB, pop 1/0. Charmy has a fabulous set of colorful cents and I couldn't think of a better owner.

This one is prettier in hand.

 

One of my favs, now in an NGC AU-58 holder. One heck of an everyman set coin.

 

Thad, why is that only a 58? Is there some wear that the images aren't showing? Great looking Lincoln!!

 

Nope the pics are accurate, in fact, the coin is nicer in hand and it cartwheels. Believe me man, that's exactly what I said when I got it back! LOL I was praying for a 64 to make it cost effective but would have been happy with a 63, which I figured it was a lock for.

My guess, it's a woody (which are often downgraded) and the obverse rim shows a hair of rub so they chickened out.....it's definately a slider but I can't justify playing the resubmit game cost wise. I thought hard about it and decided it's a pretty cool AU-58 coin. If CAC comes to any local shows ever, I'll go for that bean.

 

I am pretty sure I can see the wear, but I have also seen what I believe to be more obvious wear on coins graded as MS.

 

It looks better than the PCGS 67RB above it.

 

I no longer own that 67RB and so I am not being defensive when I say you really cannot compare a mushy late '50's wheatie to a mid-teens one. The Mint refreshed the design in 1916(?) giving the cent exceptional detail. 1950's-era Lincolns looked awful, straight from the Mint.

Below are two 67's as examples. Of course if you're referring to condition, that's another matter. Thad's '18-S is gorgeous. Love the strike. If I owned it, based on what I see here, that penny would have been resubmitted until it earned a just grade. And it might take a while because the TPG's are paranoid about color.

I quite agree with the comments about TPG's and toning. However, they do get it right in a few instances. I had Todd take these pictures at the ANA Sacramento this year. The '51D is one of the finest Wheaties in hand that I have seen!

 

Nice coins!!

 

Digging through some old storages, I found a couple I had forgotten about. This one I swear was red when I bought it, but I like it better as it is today.

 

Here is another.

 

Pretty cents rlm.

 

1882-S Morgan MS66 PCGS 'Fire and Ice'

​

 

I like the color on that one myself.....

 

I like those colors... nice fire and ice analogy..

 

Most will hate this coin....I have an affection for it. It's NEVER been dipped!

I pulled this out of an ancient Whitman folder that came from a friend that passed. She started collecting in the 1940's. There was a thin piece of tissue paper between the pages. That's why the toning looks like this.

 

And one last one.

 

It came from the nice lady I bought it from but I liked it so much I used it.

 

1927-S Lincoln MS64 Brown
