<p>[QUOTE=&quot;deefree, post: 2654304, member: 85263&quot;]Thank you mikenoodle! Well it only takes money and a little &quot;crazy&quot;. Now I have the crazy, the coins and no money!</p><p><br /></p><p>People who collect usually have a favorite. I don&#039;t know why it happened but&nbsp; Lincoln cents have always been a big attraction for me. The MPL obsession somehow just came out of that. I never had thought much about them until just a couple of years ago. When I saw some good pictures, it was all over. The rims, the toning and the interesting reflections from a clean matte surface...really hooked me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes you can snag one without breaking the bank. The 1913 and 1910 generally aren&#039;t that expensive. I recently found a 1913 64BN for around $500. It turned out to be nice. I was actually surprised that it looked that good in person when it arrived.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the picture from the ad:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://caimages.collectors.com/coinimages/50297/82110296/1913%20PR64BN.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Pretty boring.</p><p>Here is a picture I took with a phone...It looks nicer but in person it is even better. Lincoln&#039;s portrait really stands out in a 3-D effect and there is an attractive blue in his hair and beard. It doesn&#039;t show very well in the picture but at least you can see that it has more going for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<img src="https://caimages.collectors.com/coinimages/50297/82110296/1913%20PR64NB%20close.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The point is there are bargains if you hunt around. Most of the time there are return privileges so that can help. If you get one and it isn&#039;t what you hoped for, return it and try again![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
