Post some Lincolns!!!

Leeg, do you happen to know how this coin was stored prior to slabbing. I have a few "screwed up" key-dates that need to retone, and I have received lots advice. Right now they are in my Dansco album and hoping they tone nicely before I die!!

Nice ones!

You did notpost eh grades? 64RB and 66RD?

 

RLM: sorry, I meant to ask if anyone wanted to guess the grades? Is that ok to do in this section??

 

To your heart's content, but I would not expect 50 guesses.

 

Thanks Larry.

My best guess would be an album of some sort.

Thanks to all for the kind words on my Lincoln Cents. Been collecting them since 2006 and am enjoying the ride. :goofer:

PCGS 65RB

 

Ok- no grade guessing. 1929 D- was 63 BN and 1930 65 RD. I thought they would get the grades you mentioned, especially the 30 but I am still happy.

 

Here's a 27 S MS 63 RB, and 30 D MS 64 RB:

 

Your 27-S is almost as weak as mine (62 RD). I never really noticed many weakly struck 27-S's there were until I started looking for the certified coins. I think they kept the nice ones and sent the weak ones to be certified.

 

David Lange, cent expert, stated an interesting observation about this in his book: Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents. I don't remeber the exact quote but he stated that the softly stuck coins are less porous and therefore less prone to carbon spots, verdigris, etc as there is less crevices for air and moisture to be trapped for crummy stuff to develop. So in other words, the soft coins were better preserved and the sharply struck stuff was more prone to damage and therefore less of it is certified. Makes sense. Makes these coins interesting to grade sometimes too. Strong coins are best, but soft ones are interesting to me.hya:

 

One of my favorites here:

 

I do not wonder why that is one of your favorites. Real nice!

 

Leeg: I am speachless. The 15 S is unbelieveable. That is money.

 

Appreciate it!

This one arrived yesterday, NGC 65RB:

 

15-S & 11-D great looking coins guys!

 

I definitely prefer the 11-D over the 15-S.

 

1909-1925

Any Wheat in that condition I like !

 

I just re-imaged this coin. You guys should expect that this coin resides in my collection. I only own a handful of Lincolns, but this one is a real treat.




What do you think of that?

 

Real nice! And that only got a 64? Not even a star?

I am surprised you don go after more of them. There are definitely some colorful Lincolns out there.

 

Tell them where you work, Lee :thumb:. What a great job !!!

 

Leeg- your image got moved. Post to your computer and then pull from there and they won't get moved if you mess with your photobucket pages. Would love to see these cents
