Post your Lincolns!

My thoughts were to take better photos, to better evaluate the coin and to better protect the coin. I know the packaging was better in the 80s than earlier UNC set packages, but it is soft and the coin can slide around inside both of which could lead to damage from contact or sliding, respectively.

New photos of these two 1936-D cents.

 

Here's an 83 I pulled from circ. And a pain in the backside to photo Formative Years.

 

New photo of 1936-S.

 

Found in Circ.

 

That’s very cool looking!

 

And its companion 1936-S.

 

OH MY GOD, it looks like this 1937 has grown some spots on the reverse since I posted it a couple of years ago. It's in a Lighthouse Quadrum 2x2 plastic holder so I would not expect it to deteriorate.

 

Added this coin to my 1957 Mint Set. Moved from #6 to #5.

 

I hate spots.

 

At least my other 1937 has mostly toning freckles rather than corrosion spots. I feel like those corrosion spots are going to eat the coin some day.

I sympathize with you, Larry - spots on a matte proof would freak me out for fear of what might happen next. Do they stabilize in TPG plastic?

 

New 1937-S photos.

 

So, my dear mother in law call yesterday and tell me that she have something for me. She bring me a bag , collection of her daddy, with +300 wheat pennies oldest is 1911, there is 1917, 1919, bunch of 1940s and 1950s...lot of fun in next days I find two buffalo nickles, they change color after decades in bag with pennies

 

This arrived today. Putting together a slabbed 1952 proof set.

 

This coin is gorgeous. In hand, you can't really see those discoloration areas.

 

Took a nineteen day trip at the end of May this year and while in Tulsa (right during the tornado flurry) stopped in a local drug store and saw this at the register. When I asked the clerk if I could exchange for it she said: "It's only a penny, so here it is keep it." Some luck. What is your impression of the coin's quality and grade? Photos taken with an iPhone so may not be good enough. If so, sorry. Thanks
