103 Days of Lincoln Cents

Tough year. You can see the nicer detail from recently reworked hubs. E.g., Abe's beard. But you will also notice deteriorating dies. The '19-D has nice color and luster but shows typical weakness.

I was thrilled to find what looked like a stunning '19-S, based on the dealer's images. And then disappointed to find a sprinkling of spotting on the reverse. I packaged it up to return it and then changed my mind. Ever happen to you?

I absolutely love the look of 66BN's.....my favorite grade. This coins shows why.

 

19's

 

Once again, my only picture

 

The beard detail on the 19 s would help me overlook the fly specs on the reverse.

 

1919

How about a famous 1919?

They don't get any nicer than MS69RD. That is an awesome coin.

Here is the reverse.

 

One of my favorites! 66RB*

 

A darker coin with the classic blue highlights on chocolate brown. MS 65 BN

This 20 S in 65 BN was a FantastiC score. They just aren't out there in this grade and this one showed up for sale I pounced. I haven't seen one offered anywhere since and I know where to look that's for sure.

 

This is my last "catch-up" post - a 62RB and two 65R. The '20 reverse was one picture too many!

 

Ok, catching up with this thread. Here's my well-worn contributions, 1911-1915. I'll pop up 1916-1919 in a followup post.

Sorry for only the fronts, but it's real hard to get them out of the album. The backs are in about the same condition.

 

Very cool trails on that reverse Lance. Incredible as always!

 

Can someone explain to me the "lowball" coin phrase? I think it means coins that are very worn from some of the post/picture correlations I've read. If that's the case, is there any "value" to them? All the 1909-1920 cents I have look about the same as what I've posted, all of them very dark and very worn.
