This is a ANACS MS63BN.
If you look closely, you can see the nose hair they preserved along with Lincoln...

 

I was going to start at the beginning and post the coins I have not yet posted.
@BadThad lured me into posting the 1910's, and I just posted the 1909 in another thread. Oh well, here's what I have from 1909.


This is a different angle on the 1909 than is posted in #8653 in "Post a Toned Coin".

I don't think I'll ever be completing this year set...

After all, I can take the reverse from the top picture and the obverse from the bottom photo and build my own S-VDB for cheap!

Edit: I couldn't help myself. Here's what that fake S-VDB would look like! That's pretty darn convincing to me! (Disclaimer: THIS IS NOT A REAL COIN!!!!)

 

Found this pair from 1926 this week.

 

Long time follower, rare poster (mainly because I feel I can't qualify with the quality of cents on here.) Regardless, I have working on a mid MS set for awhile and have been stuck in the 1930's (working backward) though the 1951 P has always been my unicorn. I could never find one with strong wheat stalks, a complete "O" in "ONE" and Abe with a strong cheek bone and lapels. Well, until now...enjoy and thanks for all the wonderful posts.

 

That 1951 is HAMMERED!

Hey, post what you got. It's not a competition, we're just showing what we have or like. I like this thread because it's forcing me to take more pictures. Since most of my collection sits in a SDB, I don't get to see it often. The pictures remind me of what I have and also remind me that I need to take new pictures. LOL I also use my pictures to discover coins that I need to upgrade!

 

Then how about this one?

 

@dimeguy I second what @BadThad said.

For my part, everything I have was set aside for posterity by someone else. I feel I am just sharing in the effort of others. If I can, in turn, share these more widely, so much the better.

I only wish my photos could show more luster and toning, and not be so ruthless with the minuscule flaws.

 

I tore down my "studio" - my tripod on my desk - company coming today. So here is an iPhone shot. I held the coin next to the phone to adjust the color.

 

91'd by PCGS...

 

I could not stand my iPhone photo. Our guests have gone, the tripod is back on the desk, and I took a quick photo of the 1951 again.

 

I got all my year penny the 50 lineup.

 

Now my penny of the 60.

 

The 1912 was listed as Gem BU++ on eBay.

The 1912-D was in a PCGS AU58 holder at David Lawrence. I made an offer and they took it. There is some chatter in the obverse field, but I really like the woody reverse. I figure it will always regrade at AU58 if it needs to, so I took it out of its holder so it would fit in my tray.

The 1912-S was listed as AU on eBay with tiny pictures. I mostly see an attractive blue toning over the high points, myself.

I must be terrible at grading, because I really don't see all that much difference between these coins.


This one seems proof-like to me, but doesn't have the diagnostic die scratch that runs through the ERT of LIBERTY. If I never get it graded I can always imagine that it could be a proof; if I send it in I would have to give up that fantasy.

Unless it is...


Edit: The most expensive of these four coins was $133. I learned from another thread to keep an eye out for AU's that may turn out to be a bargain.

 

Still looking for a 1913-S

 

Just got this guy crossed from a NGC 66 RB to a PCGS 66 brown. One of only two coins in the grade now.

1938
