Post your Lincolns!

Thanks the whole proof set has the same target toning. I am gonna have to re shoot the Lincoln.

Anyone know what zinc Lincolns go for that are unplated (steel-looking) but stamped on both sides?

 

1965 did not have any proof coins. The Special Mint Set coins didn’t use the special polished planchets of proof strikes.

This photo shows a strong strike, but surfaces that are not as smooth or mirrored as the proofs of previous years.

On the other hand, it’s developing a nice orange toning on the coat and all over the reverse.

 

Just got these 3 grades back. The 54s was a pleasant surprise. I was expecting a 66/66+
1937-s 65BN
1940-d 65BN
1954-s ms67rb

 

I have been working my way through the post-WWII proofs. I finally took apart the Capitol Plastics holder that houses my 1950 proof set so I could redo those photos.

 

I have a 1990 no S penny proof

 

Here's one I've been wanting since I was a kid. It's a gorgeous 1972 DDO with yellows and magentas against the Red Brown.

 

Not without pictures you don't.

 

Great coin

 

Doorstop?

 

Nice Lincolns

 

Thought I'd throw in the Illinois commemorative. From 1918.

 

Nope, future work!

 

But could serve as a doorstop till then...

 

For my birth year set. Sellers Images.

 

1966 was the second year that there were no proofs, but this is from a Special Mint Set. The planchet has some flaws below the Lincoln Memorial that show that it was not polished the way the proof planchets were.

 

Any comments help. i am new to collecting
