Last 3 I needed for the 5 type sets I'm working on

 

Thanks. I really enjoy the design. These two make number 8 and 9. I also love the silver libertads as well.

 

OK now my photo

Just bought this on eBay ...

 

Are those the seller's pics WL?

 

Saw that one yesterday evening. Looked nice enough for me to click on the listing, and the asking price didn't sound half bad.

Nice pick-up, WL!

Thanks iGrade!

Hey Zach, Yes, seller's pix.

Here is what his ebay ad said:

"1958-D Lincoln Cent MS/BU+ ...Finest Rainbow Neon Tone I have ever seen... ***Pictures have not been enhanced or altered...coin looks just like this in hand...I almost fell over when I found this at our local coin show."

Paid $75 for it. I plan on submitting it to PCGS Secure Plus and see what they say (if they think it's gradeable or not). Thought it was worth a gamble! My gut feeling is the toning is natural (although I have to admit that I've been fooled before) the color progression on the reverse seems correct. And I like the woody pattern (on the front (and somewhat on the back)). If it grades, it will be the most vivid rainbow toning I've ever seen on a PCGS-blessed MS Lincoln cent.

 

You guys sure do go nuts over toners.......

 

Just bought for $160 which is $159 to much. Listing says rainbow tone but well see when it gets here?



Seller photos.....

 

A good friend and I were both looking at this one. Good friends do GOOD things.





But then he does want a MS coins for his set...

 

A gift from the junk silver bin.

 

Just got back from a show with 7 mercury dimes, lots of linclons, some clipped plancet coins, and a large cent with a hole and a gash making the last number of the date invisible.

 

This just came this past week, last of my SMS, 1967.---John

 

John, Love the SMS sets. :thumb:

 

Bought at a coin show for $1

The Jefferson nickel is actually quite well toned on the reverse, had to sacrifice quality for colour on this one.

 

Just bought this last night. Great color ...

 

nothing special, but all dates i did not have yet:

 

Nice coin Wing, I was tracking this one and the 45 cent 'great toning' had up this weekend. Unfortunately, both went off well beyond what I was willing to lay out. Cents don't get may star's at NGC and they always catch my eye when I see them. Let us know how she looks in hand !
