And have a happy '17. (Yes, I know it's "Post your Lincolns!" - there's a Lincoln in here, too.) Each of these will complete a century this year....
I did not have a 1917-S. This was on eBay from the dealer I bought the 1928-D's from (among others) so I have an element of trust built up. I just...
Somehow I missed posting these Denver cents along with their compatriots. Later in the date set the coins are all red. I really like the 20's and...
Thanks. I may have benefited by the seller's pictures on eBay. They show the strike but fail on the color. That may have deterred some bidders....
[ATTACH][ATTACH] This may look a bit rough, but it adds a unique look to the collection. [ATTACH]
[ATTACH][ATTACH] [ATTACH] The reverse of the -S has this good-sized die crack. There is also a crack in the planchet just in front of Lincoln's...
PCGS MS65. $31. [ATTACH]
I have only a handful of graded cents. This is NGC MS65. [ATTACH] This one has a new picture. It was a salvage of a PCGS graded AU53, discussed...
You're OK, I'm sure. After all, you did get back a penny, so you're at 49.99.

I believe these are die scratches on the reverse. The coin has terrific luster.[ATTACH] Alas, I have no 1919-D at this time...:(:(. But, this S...
I posted this coin before, but this is a much better picture. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] This picture of the 1918-D was already posted, but here it is...
Thanks. So many have contributed so much before me. I'll be thrilled if I can find a path to help anyone else.
Another step forward with the iPhone. [ATTACH] I thought the images above were pretty good, until I held the coin up next to it. They just didn't...
I tend to agree. When I was comparing mine to that one, I kept looking at the dings and thinking "Geez, mine looks better than that...". It makes...
Regrettably, the doubling is not apparent on either my small date proof or the large date. Below, the Small is on top; Large is on the bottom. It...
I don't know why they changed the style, but they made proofs of both of them, too. This is small date. [ATTACH]
Cool, indeed. I wondered how a scratch could be so distinctive and have a nearly right-angle bend in it. I will have a new depth of appreciation...
[ATTACH] What are the odds? While taking photos I noticed this distinctive die scratch running through CENT. [ATTACH] Then I went to NGC Coin...
This is more funny than sad, fortunately. Sometimes a dealer will toss in a little token of appreciation for a purchase. I have received a 1958...
