<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 2211645, member: 26030&quot;]<b>1940-S Lincoln Cent</b> (PCGS MS65RB).&nbsp; One of the prettiest colorfully toned business strike Lincolns I&#039;ve ever seen.&nbsp; I call this one &quot;Aurora Borealis&quot; because the reverse reminded me of the northern lights.</p><p><br /></p><p>I got this in a Trade with (arguably) the #1 collector of colorfully toned business strike Lincolns, who goes by the moniker <i>CopperColor</i>.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin originally came from a dealer in Indiana who told me this story: &quot;That coin came out of a Lincoln Album that I purchased from a long time customer.&nbsp; He had those stored for quite some time. I can assure you he did not artificially tone this coin as he would not have the knowledge to do so. There were probably 20 coins in the book that had similar toning but this one was the best looking.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Definitely some hits, marks, and dings on this coin.&nbsp; I am thinking PCGS could have given it a 64 grade rather than a 65 -- but probably bumped it due to the killer luster and color. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/TVBlack_1940S_MS65RB.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/1940s_MS65RB_O_1100.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/1940s_MS65RB_R_1100.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
