    Does anyone have a good looking image of the front and back of the Lincoln Comm Proof that you'd be willing to send me?

    Wow nice picture Zekegzz Can I ask you did you buy coin already graded or did you send it out? And if you did send out how much did it cost to be graded.

    Hi Carl, guess where I'm originally from? New Britain or New Britski, lol.
    Okay, I purchased the 2009 S$1 200th Anniversary Lincoln Commemorative from Gainesville Coins. I probably paid too much for it but who doesn't? The coin is just perfect. I went over it optically with a 7x desk lighted magnifier and then scanned it into my laptop then zoomed in on it using Picasa 3 and Arcsoft Photo Impressions 6. No flaws at all.
    They give you what they say.

    These aren't the greatest pics, as afterwards I saw the lint, but the coins are perfect under the scope.

    Everybody rocks on CT. SirCharlie those are great shots. IMHO you captured the gloss and realness perfectly. Here's the MS70. My scanner and me cannot get gloss or realism like you can with your camea.

    Zekeguzz,I order both my Lincoln Silver Dollars(proof and UNC) from the US mint, I won't have them graded as I just bought the coin's not for the plastic, But I can see on resale if you some time in future plan to sell your coin you will get top dollar.Also I don't know how everyone else feels but I do think that the Lincoln UNC looks alot better then the proof coin. Nice picture's SirCharlie.

    He did have big ears. I don't think it's a mistake.

    I wonder why these got special labels on the NGC holders?? I know they do it for some coins but usually not a basic silver dollar commemorative. Are they getting more creative these days or was this just special enough to get one? It looks great in the slabs. I love the labels.

    I am still waiting for mine from the mint- the proof. That is such a nice coin. Congrats.
