Post your Lincolns!

So here are the 49PDS from the Whitman above. The P is pretty brown on the obverse and RB on the reverse but the spots pretty much kill it (not as noticible until you blow it up for sure). The D has a nice deep red tone and die crack on the forehead. The S is the star of the group with extremely good luster and a depth of red that is just amazing in hand. I must need new lights because it just doesnt come through on the pictures.

I bought these years ago, then sold it to WingedLiberty, then bought them back again recently.

 

The 47DS from the Whitman. The P was a nice brown MS but didn't bother to photograph.

 

A recent find.

So actually took another look at the 47P and except for a couple of hits has to be one of the better BN LWC I have seen. I think MS with a bit of luster.

 

Always nice to find an 09VDB.

 

I found a roll of Lincolns I didn't know I had.
All the coin's had excessive polishing from a repeated die clash.
This roll was a lot of fun to study.
Some one correct me if I am wrong the whole roll has metallic grease deposited along the rims, that is the explanation for the two spots above M and I on the reverse.

It looks like this.

It nudges off easily with a sharpened bamboo skewer, tried it on a baggy example.

 

Same Whitman, this time the 50PD. The D has a die chip/scratch on the reverse between the left wheat stalk and the rim.

 

(2) 1944 D My favorite is the one on the left. The single one up close.

 

Another find.

Another oldie.

 

I am jealous, I have only 3 relatively old ones
