Well, I finally bought the last piece of my Lincoln cent puzzle -- a 1922 plain cent, Die #2. It cost me $690 and is NGC-graded in Good 4. It looks to have some beautiful chocolate-brown, problem-free surfaces. What do you think? Did I do well with this purchase based on the price and the images? I always appreciate your feedback and thoughts, everyone.:thumb:
The price seems to me to be a very strong offer, maybe a wee bit on the high side. I don't think that you will regret buying it, though. It's a beautiful key date coin!
Thanks for the replies! I truly appreciate your comments. Yes, Definitely I am satisfied with the piece itself. More of an academic/hindsight observation I'm making though is on the price. PCGS trends a Good at around $725 on their site, though I know those prices can be off a little bit... I have been searching high and low for a nice, problem-free '22 plain between Good and Very Good that is certified. It seems hard enough to find a piece without corrosion or damage, let alone a certified piece in nice Good with solid surfaces. I'm particularly happy with the color and strike.
that is the last coin i need for my wheat set also! nice job, most i have seen have been problem coins. the price may sound a little high, but that is basically what they are going for.
Thanks, Panda. That was my goal was a problem-free piece. So hard to find those. I do now need to bridge the grade gap in my set. I have a Good 1922 plain and an AU 1931-S. Everything is BU/proof from 1935 on. Perhaps I should buy a BU pair of 1934s and then visually transition the grades from G-F up through VF-XF throughout the bulk of the 1920s and then round out the 1930-1933 pieces with XF-AU...
Coinman, A really nice reverse, particularly for the grade. Sorry, can't see the obverse. Glad you like it -- enjoy it!
