<p>[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1511298, member: 26030"]<b>1937 Lincoln Cent.</b> PCGS MS66RB. Monster eye appeal! A recent eBay pickup just dripping with luster. I paid $108.50, about a 3.4x toning premium (well worth it to me!) The seller told me that he pulled this flashy coin from an original (untouched) mint-wrapped roll of uncirculated 1937 Lincoln Cents -- and submitted to PCGS for grading just a few weeks ago. So this coin hadn't seen the light of day for 75 years. It's kind of cool getting a glimpse of what truly original toning looks like from a paper coin roll. Some notable events of 1937: Franklin Roosevelt was sworn in for a 2nd term as President of the United States, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco opened, and the flying airship Hindenburg exploded while attempting to hook itself to a mooring post over New Jersey, which signaled the end of the dirigible as a major form of transportation. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/1937_LCo.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/1937_LCr.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
