Picked up these today

Here's a few I got today. three little Indians and a proof 1938 Lincoln cent.

 

I just bought this colorfully toned 1937 Lincoln Proof (NGC PF65 RB) from Lehigh96, one of the premier toned coin collectors in the country and a former CoinTalk member. I am planning on submitting it to PCGS for an attempted crossing and TrueView photo. Lehigh96 told me he bought it "many years ago" before he started his Jefferson Nickel collection when he was "working on a rainbow toned 20th Century type set". He also told me that the "blue toning is truly outstanding". I was LUCKY to be in the right place at the right time to snap this one up! It's rare to find such nice color on an early Brilliant Proof Lincoln (and no black spots). This could only be categorized as a monster!

 

WOW I've never seen such a blue on a coin! Reminds me of the sun and ice

 

"Fire and Ice" -- I like it, phdunay.

 

Just a few of the non lincolns I picked up this week. I'm bit by the small copper bug, so lincolns are in another thread. Thoughts as to what I paid on the Franklin?

 

A few of the early 20th century Brazillian(sp?) silver Reis I got this month.

 

I've never seen one of these before!

 

12-15 more date+ Mint marks need to have completing MS-66 set of Roosevelt

 

ebay pick the other day

 

Had Some Fun at 'FUN'.

 

Nice stuff GREEN!!!

 

Just picked up for the Type set from Lehigh96 during his on going fire sale.:smile

Thanks Paul

 

Got a weird one recently



The toning looks a little weird, it is two colors and the luster seemed to shine right through the really dark areas.

 

my newest ones that i posted about earlier.

 

I'd say you did
Nice, very nice!

Got my clad ones to go along with my silvers from a few days ago




Love the design of the El Yunque

 

Just bought this one Saturday night. The seller told me he had a hard time photographing the reverse due to the intense and deep mirrors. This was the sellers blurb:

"This coin grades Superb Gem Proof estimated PR66 RB, and what an incredibly nice example it is. This is a coin with simply stunning Eye Appeal and Flash! It is a fully mirrored coin with extremely flashy and reflective fields. The devices are a more frosty looking, giving the coin a nice cameo appearance. When viewed straight on, the coin is a darker red-brown with the devices showing the cameo look. However, when you tip the coin to the light... let the light show begin! Intense Neon Rose and Blue tones show in the fields. It is an amazing coin with a great look! This is a 100% original uncleaned coin, and there are no dark spots or specks as so often found on Proof Indian Cents. The strike is hammered, as you would expect on a Proof. This is a coin with no negatives of any kind, simply an awesome coin in every way. If you like neat toned Indian Cents, you will be amazed by this one!"

 

Wing...... where are you getting these? Do you have a set of dies? That's an awesome coin! Congrats!

 

Not a fan of the state or national park quarters, but that one makes me happy. I think I'll have to get me one of those.
