Post your Lincolns!

According to Wikipedia, 304,725. That's not a whole lot less than 2023 and 2024 proofs.

I had to buy, t

Thank you, found silver proof sets mintage on Google 161k sets, but quoted actual number of sets may be lower, and mabie they just sold them all before I decided I wanted one. Have to waite for official announcement.

 

Nice woody!!! You're working hard on that set, great job!

 

This arrived today, and boy is it hard to image.

 

Most of my Lincolns have at least some luster or toning, except for this guy.
I've had it for 8 years or so, and posted it back in posts #4281 and #4099.


I found one that I like more, even though it has a scratch.


Full resolution photos

 

Now this is strange. I was putting the 1926-D into the album after photographing it (post #9206). I happened to look at the 1921-S and thought it looked better than its photo from almost 6 years ago (post #6697).

It has been sitting in an Intercept Shield album. This is advertised as having chemicals impregnated into the cardboard to prevent toning or corrosion. Could they actually reduce toning over time?
