<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dimeguy, post: 1613955, member: 19855&quot;]I was in a copper mood so I decided to go and build to the in-process Lincoln set. Usually, with some patience and careful consideration I do well on Ebay, but so far I&#039;m half disappointed with the purchases. Figured I would share them regardless, so here are my very quick pics:</p><p><br /></p><p>First the good:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx292/dimeguy_2010/1938P_zps60782128.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This one almost has a mirror quality to it that I was too impatient to capture equally on both sides of the coin:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx292/dimeguy_2010/1941S_zps01a05ca1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now the ones I&#039;m disappointed with:</p><p><br /></p><p>This one is toned, and those who know my posts know I like the &quot;mint original&quot; sort of coins so toning turns me off. With a set of red, red-brown, and brown MS cents, this one stands out. It&#039;s nice and lustrous, shows a rainbow progression, but definitely at the end stages of toning around the periphery</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx292/dimeguy_2010/1939P_zps60e4a388.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I was too impatient to attempt to get the obverse as it is darker than the reverse, but you get the idea:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx292/dimeguy_2010/NewCents017_zps85745dde.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This one has parallel striations I&#039;m not sure of in the field immediately in front of Lincoln&#039;s eyes and some discoloration in the field behind Lincoln&#039;s head...fingerprint perhaps?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx292/dimeguy_2010/1939s_zps8d94e0c1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This Type II has a fingerprint right on Abe&#039;s jacket. The only reason I probably won&#039;t return it is because I got it really cheap and it looks like Lincoln is wearing corduroy which I find highly amusing. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx292/dimeguy_2010/1981S_zpsac952372.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Hopefully the other half arriving next week will be more redeeming as I&#039;ve been fairly disappointed with this batch so far. Live and let learn I guess.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
