Back in the day, five years or more, I had a super nice Lincoln Cent collection. Sold it on eBay and had a HUGE loss. Here is one of them that Stewart Blay like:
This 1936 suffers from a little bit of flatness on the jaw and cheek. In hand, it's blast red and dazzling. It amazes me for a raw coin that's 83 years old. This coin was previously shown in post #4115. I tried tipping the coin away from the lights instead of toward them. The use of incident lighting rather than a more axial (that is, nearly overhead) excites the luster rather than just illuminating the fields. With a nearly perpendicular angle to the lights. (Angle like |.) A second try using the same coin, with the bottom of the coin tipped down so the light comes from the top of the coin at a slight angle from vertical. (Angle like /.) Also the exposure is one step darker.
Monetarily, probably not. Because you like it and find it interesting, sure, keep it - it’s kinda cool, whatever happened to it. Warning! As you see more coins your tastes may evolve, so follow your likes. Don’t worry too much about what other people think.
