<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1542980, member: 26030&quot;]Anyway I am digressing on the 1970-S.&nbsp; We are onto 1971 already.&nbsp; Here is a crazy 1971-S Proof Lincoln that I bought for $11 off ebay.&nbsp; It was a raw coin that I didn&#039;t think would get a grade at PCGS -- so I submitted it to PCGS using the Secure Plus service so it could be sniffed for illegal chemicals.&nbsp; I was pleasantly surprised when this coin passed all of PCGS&#039;s tests and it came back as NT and/or Market Acceptible.&nbsp; &nbsp; PCGS gave this colorful monster a PR67RB grade.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In any case, this might be the most colorful PCGS-graded 1971-S Proof Lincoln that I have ever seen.&nbsp;&nbsp; The color was so interesting on this coin, that I had the PCGS TrueView group take three photos of it.&nbsp; The middle one is the one that is in the PCGS database as the &quot;official version&quot;.&nbsp; It was actually a hard decision on which of the 3 photos to pick for the database. </p><p><br /></p><p>What&#039;s the best way to describe this crazy color?&nbsp; Perhaps I should call it my &quot;Salt Water Taffy&quot; Lincoln Proof.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/TVBlack_1971S_Linc_PR67RB.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/TVBlack_1971S_Linc3_PR67RB.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/TVBlack_1971S_Linc2_PR67RB.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
