Ok, @Duke Kavanaugh, you're up, or you can yield the floor.

My guess was based on seeing similar ones sell in the $50-$100 range. I figured it might have been a bit less for all three together.

The first two I think are no doubt MA, but the third (the blue one) looks less natural. I'd call that one QC.

Overall it's a cool set and the price is around where I'd expect to see these retail at.

Yield to the Field please!

 

Ok, while we are on toned proof Lincoln Cents, how about we double dip on this 1937 Lincoln Cent NGC PF65RB. What did I pay for it in 2008 and what did I sell it for in 2012? The person who comes the closest cumulatively for both coins is the winner and gets the point. The Numismedia Wholesale price is $145.



PS. the Cointalk member who purchased this coin is ineligible for participation, but he dubbed this coin "fire & ice" which I thought was a great name. Too bad I don't have access to his Truview after he crossed it.

I located a post of his with the obverse of this coin.

Just out of curiosity, @Lehigh96, did it cross to PCGS at PR65RB? I'm a little surprised NGC didn't call it BN, and I'd be even more surprised if PCGS didn't either.

 

I really don't know, we would have to see if @WingedLiberty still has his collection in the PCGS Registry.

 

I think I see where you're getting that from, but what makes it look QC to you? I'll give you that if this were an MS coin, I'd probably be running away from it really fast. But, mirror proofs tend to tone like this a lot. I've seen multiple IHC and Lincolns with the same sort of look.

Stunning coin.

Proofs do tend to tone in a variety of ways (and I've seen plenty like the first two). The third looks closer to the examples I've seen from edynamicmarketing and a few others; it has that gassed/chemically altered look.

"Fire & Ice" describes the color perfectly. And that '36 proof is fantastic. I love the color transition, it almost looks like the reds and blues are dripping off of "Liberty" and the date.

Duke is the Winner!

 

NICE!!!

Floor is open.
Please post and take the honors.

 

Someone's got a Toner.....
