<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 20005531, member: 10461&quot;]Since I’m eclectic and all over the map and dabble in a little bit of everything, there’s probably not much I could post that would surprise you.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will note, however, that my interest in modern US coins is quite slim.&nbsp; Not nonexistent, but slim.</p><p><br /></p><p>Generally speaking, if it’s a US coin made during my lifetime, I’m not terribly interested in it, unless it’s got bullion value or is a truly spectacular error.</p><p><br /></p><p>That being said, I surprised myself by doing something I thought I’d never do.&nbsp; I purchased a lowly <i>Lincoln Memorial Cent</i> for 75 bucks!&nbsp; (It was originally priced at $100, as I recall, but I haggled.)</p><p><br /></p><p>If anybody had told me I’d cough up 75 bucks for a 1965 Memorial cent, I’d have laughed at them and shaken my head.</p><p><br /></p><p>But it <i>is</i> from my birthyear, and this one is a true “monster toner”.&nbsp; It is every bit as vibrant in hand as it is in the photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS- I should also add that I am not one of those collectors who will pay exponential premiums for nice toning, so this one was doubly out of character for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1539829[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1539830[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
