<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 8131911, member: 77413&quot;]Coin 5 of 5 - 1944-D Lincoln</p><p><br /></p><p>I was hoping to upgrade this cent because of the spots - above the head and on the reverse. The luster is good and there is the beginning of some toning in a few places on the obverse.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1416441[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This replacement was only listed as “BU”, not Choice or Gem like the previous four posts.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1416442[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>It turns out to have more spots and a more subdued color. It doesn’t seem any better than the original one. But I only spent $2.48, so I can’t complain.</p><p><br /></p><p>I actually forgot that I had already bought another 1944-D that I hoped would be an upgrade. It was waiting to be photographed and wasn’t in my spreadsheet or pictures yet. This one is an MS66 RD that I got from GreatCollections. It’s in a PCGS slab.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1416443[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>What with the spot between the E and D of UNITED, minor spotting throughout the lower half of the reverse, and a mark to the left of Lincoln’s head, it seems to be a tossup between this and my ungraded original.</p><p><br /></p><p>It’s not good enough to warrant cracking the slab and putting in my album. I’ll stay with the one I have. I certainly don’t feel bad about the two dollar purchase, but I wish I had my $44.50 back from the second coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
