[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1429870, member: 26030"]I bought this raw, ungraded Lincoln Cent off eBay for $75 about 6 weeks ago. This was the sellers description: "Finest Rainbow Neon Toned Lincoln I've ever seen, I almost fell over when I found this at our local coin show." I was hoping that PCGS would grade it, but whenever copper shows this much rainbow color, getting a grade is a crapshoot. I got the results back from PCGS on Friday night -- they blessed the toning and put an [B]MS65 BN[/B] grade on this (making this coin a huge coup)!! The PCGS TrueView photograph turned out to be a showstopper. The obverse shows an interesting and attractive woody toning pattern with some subtle coloration, but clearly the star of the show is the vibrant reverse neon rainbow color -- which is nothing short of breathtaking. Getting this level and intensity of color on a mint state Lincoln (or any copper coin for that matter) is an extreme rarity. [ATTACH]174683.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
