Let's see your newest acquisitions!

Picked this beauty a few weeks ago. Love the sunset toning on the Obv. Also take a good look at Abe he looks like he's smiling.

1959 Lincoln Cent Proof. The key to the P-Mint Memorial Proof Lincoln Colorfully-Toned Subclass. For some reason this date is practically impossible to find diverging from the standard copper color. This monster has a silvery hue with subtle green and blue undertones -- there are a few flecks of orange-red in Lincolns hair. Robec just photographed this one for me today and did a fantastic job. This will be heading off to PCGS for grading in a few weeks.



So this finally completes my rainbow P-Mint Memorial Proof Lincoln collection! A feat which took me a year and a half to finish.

 

Wow, wow, wow!

 

Thats purdee and the image that Robec took just makes my eyes want to be glued to it. Nice find WL.

 

Im almost positive I could write a Best Seller about my life and the things ive seen and observed over these 25 short years. Throw in a little family history and background and everybody would want a copy, next thing i know i would be in Oprahs Book Club and a famed author (dont I wish).

Anyway, Im glad you guys have enjoyed the tid-bits of my life and collecting inspiration that I write up here occasionally. Just let me know if it ever becomes too much, although I think its important to find out information about our fellow collectors. It helps to give an idea of what and how your collections are formed and evolving and will hopefully assist others in helping members to grow their collections as well

 

Thanks for joining and contributing. Look forward to more.

 

Wow! Congratulations on a completed set.

 

Awesume! {{wipes drool from chin}} very nice find a absolutely stunning set.

 

Second Commerative I've bought. What would you grade it?

 

I don't see why that coin could not grade MS65-66.

 

FINALLY got this in the mail from the Bay, NGC MS62 C-1

 

That half cent is SWEET!

 

thank you!

Nice, surprisingly I dont own one of him yet.

 

really? i own 2... 1 on accident, this one on purpose.

 

This arrived today. It's such a goregous coin I couldn't be more please. I can't photograph the toning correctly

 

These Franklins also came.



They're very nice and I'm rather pleased.

 

1966 Washington Quarter (SMS). Just got this image back from Robec last night. He did his usual fantastic job! This will head off to PCGS for grading in a few weeks.

 

I cant resist on this one, but to me Lincoln looks like he just enjoyed some 'extra curricular activity' of the green plant variety. Half cracked smile and droopy looking eyes.... we can call him Stoney Lincoln.
