Post your Lincolns!

Are these better, except for the one some idiot polished at some point in time.

I was over looking a year for a Lincoln Cent one time it had a "inverted cauliflower ear" above his normal ear type of indentation. Well, I found one in a CoinStar machine recently. A whopping $0.92 was in the rejects bay of the machine.

 

Another recent find.

 

Found a 1917 last week.

 

That's a 70S small date.

 

Off to see the wonderful wizards at PCGS. Thanks.

 

You could but I don't feel it's worth the fees. What do you grade the coin in hand?

 

@DysfunctionalVeteran The first thing I look for is the weak BRTY.

 

Before the coin care/acetone or after?

 

You don't want to mess with the coin. It's happy just the way it is.

 

For funzy, I might make a Stereo microscope from a 3D printer with plans of showing the deep well of the one I mentioned and a normal one. Maybe get Legos Electrical circuits for LED's, hmmm. Post a Lincoln? Okay, here's this one.

 

ASACS MS63BN...if you look closely, you notice the nose hair encapsulated with Abe.

 

Another recent find.

 

I would blast that nose hair with my Q-36 space modulator.

 

Ron,
Thanks for sharing your images and insightful information and comments. Great thread!

 

Must have belonged to a DI, they like to see things all polished up.

 

Another recent find.

 

first edition error coin book from well known collector..and one of a rare breed having the 145 P, D, S cents!!

 

I just took this with my $5 camera, not to bad

 

Thanks for the kind words. I certainly learned a lot by photographing, thinking about, and sharing my coins.

I just reshot this one to attempt to capture the luster. I showed a different picture of it before in post #4203.
