Thanks! I'll give this another 24 hours for folks to offer opinions, then I'll reveal the grade.
1939 completes my posts of the 1930's Lincolns. Even in a single year with fully red coins there are pleasing and subtle differences in color....
1938 Proof [ATTACH] Showing the squared-off rim [ATTACH] 1938 Business Strikes [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I have to confess that capturing luster is a lot harder than one might think! This is the best I have done tonight. Photo tip! When photographing...
Another try, but the lighting flattens out the cartwheel luster. [ATTACH]
Hint: Straight graded by PCGS.

This could go in Post Your Lincolns, or in Newest Acquisitions, or even in Woodies. Since I have very few TPG graded coins, I thought I'd take the...
Next up is 1937. I bought the first coin as an upgrade because of the spottiness on the second one. (Lincoln with measles?) I put the first one...
This is a bit of an experiment... The rubble along the bridge of the nose makes me wonder if it was varnished as a preservative. Should I give it...

I have the coin, so I will try to take some rim pictures tomorrow. My close-up capabilities are limited, but we'll try. If any detailed images...
@Insider and @rlm's cents, I don't want to hijack the OP's thread, but I will post these two pictures to illustrate the points about unusual...
I have these pictures that I just took of an Indian Head cent that was sold as a proof. I read through the thread from last April...
I acquired the 1919-D that I did not have when I posted the 1919 and 1919-S. Unfortunately, I can't recall if I posted this already. So I took new...
Here is the rest of the 1936 family, which I started back in post #4115. Somehow I ended up with two of each. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I have had the same concerns about several ungraded coins. I hope they are OK. I read that they should all have cartwheel luster, yet there seem...
I posted the first image before (and learned that's a die clash on the reverse), but here is the whole set for 1935. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
