<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1707858, member: 26030&quot;]I love colorfully toned Proof Lincolns and only accept ones into my set that I can get PCGS-graded as problem-free (in a feeble attempt to screen out AT&#039;d coins).&nbsp; The end of the bronze (95% copper &amp; 5% tin/zinc) run through 1982 is a tough era to find color; but I had a good week.&nbsp; I found a colorful PCGS-graded 1982-S on eBay last Sunday; then got grades back on the 1977-S, 1978-S, and 1981-S (Filled S) on Friday!&nbsp; &nbsp; Not too shabby.&nbsp; &nbsp; The 1980-S actually got the monster grade of PR68RB, which is a very high grade for an RB (color) coin.&nbsp; I submitted the new ones PCGS Secure Plus so they could be sniffed for illegal chemicals -- thankfully they all passed.&nbsp; Needless to say, these are TOUGH to find and get tougher as you move forward in time from 1982.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/Master_SMintMemorialBlack2G.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
