NGC MS67RD 1945 D Lincoln Wheat Cent

 

Not much, a couple of Daniel Carr medals. Celebrating 100 years of the Panama Canal.
He has 7 versions of these and I got 2 of them.

 

Latest are nothing but chunks of silver.

 

This one is a sleeper. 2013 was the second lowest mintage for Kennedy proof sets (2012 was slightly lower with 395,000, and 2013 was 419,000). However, according to a friend I have who works at NGC, this one is a sleeper, as the numbers of 70s are definitely trending below normal (and yes, they do speak to the good folks in Long Beach). They said "ignore the pop numbers for now--this one is trending towards a lot of 69s and not many 70s.". This one may go way up in the future.

 

I haven't gotten anything new yet

NGC MS67RD 1944 D Lincoln Wheat cent

 

Thank you. I actually bought that one raw and was going to do a guess the grade, but my photos just aren't good enough.

 

Looks like original color to me, but it's hard to tell from pics sometimes. At any rate, so many of these 19th-century coppers were cleaned that it really doesn't bother me - as long as the re-toned colors aren't weird.
