Post your Lincolns!

Thanks BadThad. Perhaps I'm thinking the contact marks and carbon spots are more damaging than they really are.

Yknot, on your 31s -- i have to admit, grading confuses the heck out of me. I might have guessed 64/65 on yours, but pcgs must have seen a lot they liked.

I bought this ms65bn 1931s from stewart blay last year, i really like it -- someone told me a strikethrough wavy effect on the reverse might have caused a 65 grade.

 

Thanks, Winged Liberty. Your 31-S and another 65BN on Coinfacts were in part why I was asking about mine. Mine doesn't have quite the luster yours has and I have more marks on the beard and shoulder area. The eye appeal on yours is outstanding. I was wondering why mine would be a 66 when there are 65s that look like yours! (Don't get me wrong, I do like mine but I don't think it's as eye appealing as yours) That's a good point on the strike through, wavy surfaces. That has to be part of the reason it didn't go 66. It's beautiful and I don't see any distracting marks or carbon spots.

 

What are the technical error names for this? I swear I can see doubling on the reverse.

Double struck. Second strike maybe 80% off center. Good coin. I love Lincolns. But I love major error Linclns more.

Also youre probably seeing machine doubling. No big deal really. The double strike is what makes this coin.

And below; I found this today in the jar of wheats dad gave me!

 

I just like it

Progressive Indirect Design Transfer
Definition: This is a lesser known form of die deterioration which transfers design outlines from one die to the other. Since there are many types of design transfer (clashed dies, brockages, etc.), it is preferable to call this type of design transfer “Progressive Indirect Design Transfer” or “PIDT”. Other synonyms you’re likely to encounter are “heavy design transfer”, “internal metal displacement phenomenon (IMDP), and “ghosting”.

 

I am about to photograph a set of slabs. I've got a new idea I want to try; maybe some of you would like to try it too.

My idea of using a black foam insert from a nickel's 2x2 has worked pretty well with cents. Now I need different sizes. The attached file has a set of graduated circles of different sizes on a black surround. I plan to cut these out into 2" squares, then cut out the white circles. This will generate a series of masks to lay on top of the slabs. I only need to pick out the right circle to block the reflection off the slab.

If anyone wants to try it, just print this image on a regular sheet of 8.5x11 standard size paper, chop it up, cut out the circles, and give it a try. The sizes range from half an inch up to almost two inches.

 

I won't say that I'm young, but I got this Lincoln Cent when I was a 12 year old delivering newspapers and have kept it for over 50 years. My best (and only) circulation find I ever found.

 

@TheMont
Do you still have this coin?

 

Gee, Then I wonder what's sitting in my safety deposit box at the bank.

 

Is it in a slab?

 

No, it's in an Airtite capsule. I did use Photoshop to clean up the image, but it's mine. I'd put it at XF+ which would put it at less than $2,000, but when I found it, back in 1959, it was worth a lot less.

 

You have your images mixed up. This is the same coin you posted.

 

Mine has a scratch on Lincoln's Cheek, yours doesn't and mine is more red/brown. Mine's not in a slab.

 

So the image you posted is not the coin that you own?

 

Enough, go bother someone else.

 

Enough, I agree. I own the coin you posted and have for 25 years.
This is the image you used Photoshop on. I took that image almost 11 years ago. The other images I posted were taken by a member here. It's the same coin.
