This is the newest proof I have bought for my collection. It is a 1939 Lincoln graded by PCGS. The grade is PF66RD. It is a absolutely beautiful coin with no visible discoloration. I know the pictures are terrible but I have nut set up a good camera system yet. I plan on my pics getting better.
Nice coin! I looked at the photo and didn't notice the last letter in the glare looked more like an L instead of a D. I thought what in blank is a PR66RL Jim
Very nice! Mine is only NGC PR-63. Low mintage of 13,520, tough coin and even tougher in 66! Congrats!
Thanks for all the nice comments guys. I love this coin. It is just a great strike and has awesome luster. I have the oppertunity to buy another one just like it. I may do it and offer it for sale here.
Thanks for all the nice comments guys. This coin looks even better in hand. I am sending it off along with my other Lincolns to get them profesionally photgraphed. Then yall can really see the detail
Also guys, is it me or does it looks like the reverse is a little rotated. Maybe it is just my imagination but if you look at the pics, the two shots are with coin sitting straight up and the reverse is a little off. What do yall think?
I wonder why PCGS did not notate that on the holder. Wouldnt that make it worth a little more or are they all like that that year? Thanks
First off, I think the obverse isn't completely straight in the holder, and needs to be rotated just a tad, making the rotation we see on the reverse less severe. Many coins have the rotation, and if it isn't too extreme, rarely do they go for buckoo bucks. On a case like yours, I would say it is okay that PCGS didn't notate it, and I'm not even sure if PCGS does notate things like that, and I'm sure they don't without you asking them and paying them to notate it first...
I forgot exactly, but the normal mint tolerance for rotation is nearly 10°. It would have to be well above that for it to be notated. Plus, you'd have to put that on the submission document or they will ignore it.
