Here are some of my Lincoln KEYS - post some of yours!

As you all know, I love toned copper, especially key dates (key dates in this case referring to lower mintage). So I thought I'd dust mine off and bring them out of the closet for some show and tell. Here are mine, now let's see some of your Lincoln key/semi-key dates! (p.s., I'm looking for a pretty toned 1955/55 if anyone comes across one!)

Here is the best I can do. Bear in mind that I am not a professional photographer (but I did a lot better than Heritage).

 

Sweet coins you 2. Very nice. No key date lincolns for me - at least yet.

 

Nice. So when are you breaking them all out of those slabs?
I seldom take photos of coins though.

 

Too bad the coins posted so far have all of that ugly tarnish on them I generally like my copper red!!!!

 

"some of my lincoln keys"



not sure if this is what you are looking for

 

aaaaahahahaha!!

 

WOW .. Some sweet coins.. Really love that 14D mine is only a fine to VF.. hoping to upgrade...

 

LOL.......


No keys by me but Illini, one sweet one indeed.

 

I've got most of the keys BUT not nearly as good as Charmy's.

My 1909-S VDB is PCGS AU-55.
My 1909-S is NGC AU-58 BN.
My 1914-D is PCGS XF-40.
My 1922 Plain is PCGS VF-25/Strong Reverse
My 1924-D is raw (probably AU-something).
My 1931-S is raw (probably AU-something).
My 1955 DDO is ANACS AU-55.
I don't have a 1972 DDO.
And my car is nowhere close to Lincoln quality.

 

Love that first one Charmy

 

Lincoln key dates really make my day. Thanks for the sharing.

 

Well my keys aren't as high grade...but I've got a complete set here somewhere!

1909-S VDB - VF
1909-S RAW
1914-D - F
1931-S - MS64RB (IIRC...I'm quite sure it is 64)

Most of the coins in my set were picked out from bags and rolls from dealer after dealer - thanks to my local dealer who would buy large bags of wheat cents and let me bring them home, go through them, pull out what I needed, and then bring the rest back to him. I would either trade coin for coin, or pay him $0.05/per coin I pulled out!
I got a few VDB's that way, and alot more that I can't remember - I really need to upgrade my 09-S and I wouldn't mind getting a better 14-D but I doubt that is going to happen anytime soon!

Speedy

 

You cant really complain about that. Buying key dates for 5 cents.

 

My 14 D was bought before there were such things as slabs. probably 30 years ago, it would probably around 45 My S VDB was broken out of an ANACS EF 45 slab, it matches the rest of my wheats, my memorials are all red uncs,
