Let's see your newest acquisitions!

I actually think your 66 shows a bit more hair detail than mine, at least right over the ear.

PCGS MS64

 

Now we talk. Rev pics....?

 

I had to log in just to say this thing is beautiful.

 

Nice looking 54. And it looks good for a 64.

 

I'm a fan of toned coins and you got a good one.

 

You ought to see all WLs coins. He has a 1914 Lincoln that will knock your socks off.

 

Micbraun, here's the reverse. PCGS gave it FBL. However that kind of stuff always seemed random and arbitrary to me. I kind of wish the TPGs would drop all those added categories like FBL.

 

Thanks ChiefBull. Here is the infamous 1914 Matte Proof Lincoln. I wish the U.S.Mint still made Lincolns that looked like this. It looks like a museum scupture -- a true work of art. There is just no artistry coming from the mint anymore. (IMHO)

 

Nvm

 

Not too often I get to add gold to my collection but I unloaded some crap ancients I didnt want anymore to a dealer and put it towards a new gold piece. Wish I could do this more often.

 

I agree.
Computer cad engraving is What U.S Mint is producing (IMHO)

 

In my entire Lincoln collection I do not think I own a single one that has that much detail on both the obverse and reverse. The facial details, beard, hair, wheat stalks, toning and everything are stunning

 

Got this group for less than $8

 

Rough, but a good buy for me today.
From the Racine, Wisconsin coin show.
Thanks for looking.

1859 one not to easy to find for sale in any grade. I am told

 

Jello:
Thank you. I've been on the lookout for a long time!
I was lucky to find it.

Great find Lionel.......

 

Thank you! -L

 

I agree. I looked at your photos again. Here's a '84 CC MS66, that exhibits the same weakness above the ear as yours. I bought this for the toning and of course, that it's a high grade. I won it at a Legend~Morphy auction (now just Legend).
