Dang Joe. You're always practicing 'catch and release'. Most difficult for this old sort but still, much admired ......

They like collecting as the good Lord intended.........

Cuz, I put them all in my books. Now what would you rather look at..... a plastic tray of Walking Libs and Morgans or a book filled with bright, shinny coins!!!! I love my books.

I do have a slabbed collection though which can be viewed through my link below. Don't mind the Morgan page and WL page as they are still under construction.

 

Ah, thanks for the answer!

 

Received these beauties today. Even as a Jefferson nickel collector who has seen a lot of nickels, these were very impressive. Some of the biggest luster I have ever seen on a few of the silver war nickels. The die polish lines are just a bonus, to me at least.

 

Looks like someone erased Robec Images off the top of it. I wonder why? Nice coin though.

 

Just got this one today. I bought it as a BU. Any thoughts on that? It is well struck but does have some rub on the highest points.

Got this one at the PNNA Show. Using the seller's ebay pics to share though. I got quite a deal on it.

 

I did that. I actually designed this template for Robec about 6 months ago, so I have the Photoshop master file. I simply used that old template, but stripped off the RI letters at the top. I just wanted to put the sellers photos in a nice template file, but didn't want to leave RI's brand on the composite image since he didn't shoot those photos. Hope that clears up the mystery!

 

1969 Lincoln Cent

This one appears to be struck with the 1968 master hub, Reverse, this would be known as RDV-001 for the years up to 1968, Reverse I'm also, going to post the link, that support the information http://varietyvista.com/Lincoln Cent RDV Changes.htm :lurker:

 

make sure you slab them before you gift it to me

 

1940 Lincoln Proof "Carnival" (PCGS PR64RB). Probably some of the craziest color I've ever seen on a Lincoln Proof from the pre-WW2 era. You can pick out every color of the rainbow (ROY-G-BIV) on this example. Whenever I look at this coin, the only thing I can think of is a Carnival with hundreds of multicolored neon lights. It's interesting that color on Lincoln Proofs from the 1936-1942 era is almost always choppy and blotchy (not sure why) -- very different from the silky smooth toning you get in the P-Mint Memorial era. Is it possible the copper/zinc alloy wasn't mixed as thoroughly back then as it was in later years?
