<p>[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1730929, member: 26030"]<b>1938 Proof Lincoln Cent (PCGS PR63BN).</b> Whoo-wee on this 1938 Proof Lincoln. Just got it back in today's mail from PCGS. I took a gamble and bought this one raw off eBay for $175 (which I thought was overpriced by at least $100 since it was a raw coin and had grading risk) -- but the color made me roll the dice. Now with this beast slabbed, I bet it might bring double my purchase price (not that it's for sale mind you). That glossy deep green color is pretty rare on Mirror Proof Lincolns from what I have seen. The TrueView photo didn't catch as much of the green color as this shows in-hand. The slab photo (just below) I snapped with my iPhone a few minutes ago in indirect sunlight (under my skylights).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/1938_SlabO1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/TVBlack_1938_PR63BN.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
