[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 4265705, member: 10461"]I doubt it, but the 50- and 100-year spans are rather moot as far as I'm concerned, since I'll have shuffled off the mortal coil by then. In hand, the Lincoln cent is absolutely amazing. I [I]thought[/I] it was gonna be like some RB 19th century copper proofs- the kind where the colors only "pop" at certain angles to the light. Some of you will know what I mean. But no, it is, if anything, even [I]more[/I] stunning in hand than in those PCGS TrueView images. The canary yellows on the reverse are really amazing in hand- much moreso than in the TrueView picture. I'll have to try to shoot video and/or make an animated GIF later. I chuckled at myself when I spent 75 bucks on a [I]Lincoln Memorial cent[/I], which is something I never thought I would never, [I]ever[/I] do, but now that the deed is done, I have zero regrets about it when it comes to this coin. I am content with both purchases.[/QUOTE]
