Post your Lincolns!

I picked this up at the Santa Clara show. I had a 64RD that turned RB and PCGS bought it back. This one is much nicer and although graded 65RB it is 95% red.

Unfortunately the dealer knew what he had and wouldn't budge on the price. I hate that. LOL.

WOW! Stunning coin! That thing is HAMMERED to boot!

 

Definitely not a NEWP for you, dude. :foot-mouth:

Lance, it's almost shameful to have a '13-S that nice! Also unusual to find a RB with such even and consistant color. I'd love to be that lucky - what a find!

 

That 1913 really is sweet! Nice pic too - renders the red very well.

 

Nope a 1948.

 

Thanks for the nice words, Riverguy.

The '13-S came from a hoard in Chico, CA. An entire roll of '13-S pennies were part of it. This was the best of the 50. I am glad to own it but it wasn't cheap at a 60% premium over price guides for an average 65RB.

Dealers usually spike the price of RB's that are nearly full red. It's very tempting to resubmit and try for full RD but I'm not gutsy enough to crack it and I've not been successful with "regrades". If you could find a 65RD, nicely struck, it would easily go for $6k+. Crazy.

Dang Lance that came from Chico, CA I work in Chico lol.

 

Couple from the 'bay recently.

 

So here are a few new Lincolns in my collection but I have a question on the 1955 Poor Mans DD. Is that some die brakes on it or something else? Let me know what you thinks please. Thanks all.

 

Some more for me lol.

What are these black marks and how bad does it make the coin? Got these for free.

 

A shiny wheatie for black Friday

 

Actually a 43 but not copper.

 

1939 DDO that on it way back from Ngc

 

Jello, where's the doubled die on your 1939? I can't find it.

That is awesome.

 

I hadn't seen that before. Whatever you paid, Illini, it was worth it. Perfect.

I bought this NGC graded PF67BN in October, then tried to cross it over to PCGS, telling PCGS that I would accept a lower grade. PCGS blessed it but dropped it 2 grades to PR65BN (wow). No big deal though as an NGC PF67 is listed at around $14 and a PCGS PR65 around $12. But it does go to show you how much more strict PCGS is with copper.

In any case, just eye popping color on this 1975 Proof and it might be the best example of a PCGS-slabbed post-1970 Lincoln Proof with color that I've ever seen.

This is how the coin looked in the NGC slab when I bought it ...
