We've eached the turnaround point in the top pop grades - more on this phenomona later....

 

Great pictures of really nice coins!

 

I agree with you Thad, PL Lincolns are HARD to image! Very nice one too. What is even more uncommon is that it is a Philly PL Lincoln. Normally what I see is mainly Denver coins having prooflike surfaces.

 

It took me quite a few pics to show it properly. Proofs and PL's reflect light strangely!

 

May I make a suggestion before we each wind up posting 50 pictures for 2009, how about doing one type each day. Day one do "Birth and Childhood", day 2 do "Formative Years", etc.

 

These are both MS69 Satin Finish

 

MS67 Business Strike

 

I've noticed that too. Denver is the only mint that doesn't make proofs, but they come out with PL business strikes - go figure.

 

Do you notice that when taking a picture of a proof like coin how hard it is not too get the dark black areas. It is like it just swallows up the light

 

Today's 2007? Okay, that's where this album ends. I hope it's okay to post here. I have some catching up to do!

For 2009, I was going to post maybe 2-3 cents total.

 

Hi all. I am heading out of town for about 2 weeks. It has been a great pleasure viewing all these amazing Lincoln cents. Thanks too all of you for sharing them.

 

joe, have a great time. If you happen to be in Vegas, drop me a PM.

 

2007 - A colorful roll find....nice and grimy!

 

Wow Lance! You have a raw Dansco set too? NICE! I thought you were just a slab master.

 

Thad, would Verdi-Care be appropriate for that cent?
