<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yKnot, post: 1693891, member: 47830&quot;]Hi Everyone,</p><p><br /></p><p>New to the forum and somewhat of a beginner and trying to learn as much as I can about collecting, and in particular, collecting Lincoln Cents.&nbsp; I&#039;m working on putting together a toned set of brown / red and brown early Lincolns and have made some purchases already, but overall, I&#039;m learning that true gems don&#039;t come up for sale very often and are not easy to find. </p><p><br /></p><p>One question that I have and I&#039;m not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but is there something about the 1957-D that makes is tone more than other years?&nbsp; Seems to me that toned examples for this year/mint are readily available.&nbsp;&nbsp; Also, target toned 1970-S seem pretty common, too.&nbsp;&nbsp; Is there something in the planchet alloy that would account for these year/mint makes to tone more than other year/mints?&nbsp; Are there any other years that tone more or would likely tone a certain way, like the target toned 1970-S?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I&#039;ve read many discussions about which TPG service is better PCGS or NGC and one point that is usually raised is that PCGS grades stricter for some types and NGC for others.&nbsp;&nbsp; For Lincoln cents, it seems to me that PCGS is grading a little bit stricter as the population counts for high grade coins are lower for PCGS but I&#039;d be interested in hearing whether anyone agrees (or not) with that generalization.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
