Post your Lincolns!

I acquired another 1942-D. Here is its color for comparison. I've got to give it an acetone rinse to see if the spotting comes off the reverse.

Here is my newest addition cracked out of a PCGS slab graded AU 55.

 

Woody RPM

 

I like first year of issue coins

 

Me too!

 

I made a strategic error, but it was cheap. I put in multiple low bids on the 42-D, 44-D, and 45-D that I thought I could upgrade a little. Pretty much I won them all, so I got two 42's, two 44's and a 45. All together it totaled under $30, so it's cheaper than buying any one of them in a slab.

This is the second 1942-D, which is replacing the one in my album.





Here’s that section of the album with the upgrade. There’s a little distortion because I had to take the picture at an angle to get some of the luster. Even so, I can’t capture what I see for all six coins at once.

 

I had this 1945-D. I don't know why I thought I needed an upgrade. I guess it was the three tiny carbon spots on the back.


I got this one from eBay under $10.

I lucked out. The attractive rim toning and lack of carbons spots gives this one the edge over the original. It's in the album now.

 

Now that’s a woody

 

How doesn't love Lincolns?

 

1917S before and after 1 treatment of VC. 1st coin I have treated. Thank you @BadThad for getting your product back on the shelves! It gets the gunk out of the letters and date. Maybe a little more work but I also know not to try and do too much.

 

That coin just doesn’t look normal

 

@Cheech9712 , Too much Lighting is all.

 

I get it
