1941-D Lincoln Cent (PCGS MS67RB). I have loved (coveted) this coin from afar for over a year and finally talked Robec (twisted his arm?) into selling it to me. (I think I had built up some good karma by selling him a monster or two and sending him some nice freebies as well.) Robec has another 1941-D (a blue monster) so this was a duplicate coin for him. Can you believe this was his second best 1941-D!!

Interestingly 1941-D is (by far) the most common date/mint for MS67RB grades in the wheat-backed Lincoln series, with over one-third (30/81) of the MS67RB's falling in the 1941-D slot. I think there was a monster (original) roll of 1941-D's submitted to PCGS a few years back, and over half the roll graded at that lofty grade. Kind of interesting lore.

 

That is interesting indeed, I wonder if mine would ever grade high?

 

I've been waiting for yKnot to post his new pickup, but he hasn't yet.. and it fits well right here. plus..... I just found that I have one more of these.

 

As promised, pictures finally! This is a set my grandmother surprised me with, a complete set, all uncirculated of the Kennedy Half Dollar Collection. From 1964 to 2014.

 

Nice grandma you have. Congrats on the set.

 

Indeed! Typically though, I don't care for these type of sets from Danbury, PCS, Littleton etc... etc.... because their either overpriced poorly graded coins or they include a lot of fancy and in most cases, unneeded packaging with stories and stamps and such and most of all, I hate to see her waste her money even though, good intentions are at the core.
This particular set though, I am very impressed with, I believe she said it was $19.99 a month for 2 panels, they come with 2 coins for the year, both P and D and both Uncirculated to Gem Brilliant Uncirculated in some cases and both encapsulated. A little picture and a story of what happened with Kennedy in that year completes the panel and wrapped up in a very nice folder.
To anybody else considering this set, I give it my vote.

 

Picked up this NGC AU55 1848 (N-28) Large Cent at a nice price. It's got a great skin with a nice tone.

 

Great coin, but, from the looks of it, the slab could use some work. Give it a taste of Slab Renew or other polishing compound.

 

Yea. I managed to shoot through the slab better on the obverse, but the reverse is more scuffed up. I'll buff it out and see if I can get a clearer shot.

 

Gemmy Au 55

 

My first top pop coin. My first 6 Full Step Jefferson also.

 

Bought this woodie tonight for basically XF-AU raw price.

 

Few new pick ups

Hoping whatever the black is on the 83 dime can be removed.

 

@BigTee44
Wow nice coins.
1842 Dime looks like a RPD variety extra 8 ?

 

Should be here tomorrow I'll have to take a closer look.

 

Super Jeff nice one to get a top pop on.

 

Picked this up at a coin show today, paid about 10 bucks over compared to other dealers but was bought from a longtime friend so I guess it works out

 

Got this from our very own @The Penny Lady® this weekend. Believe it or not, it looks even better in hand. When I mentioned that whoever photographed it for me was going to have a tough job, she also said "just use my pictures!"

I also picked up a beautiful NGC MS63 1903-O Morgan with gorgeous toning on both sides. So rare to find them with color on both sides, much less nice color! Unfortunately I don't have pics of that one yet.
