Looks like the dog hair goes underneath the E in STATES. Nice dog trick!

Even more modern toners....

This was the coin I was trying to post

MS 65 BN thanks JJ Tea Party

 

Found these while searching some rolls.

 

Lance, that is one of the most beautiful surfaces on a Lincoln cent. 67RD I presume?

 

Thanks, Cazkaboom. You guessed it. It's not perfect but I like just for the reason you said.
Lance.

 

Also love the coin because of the weak strike. I kinda like weak strikes for some reason.

 

It was all downhill from the earlier years. Even the best strikes were mushy. You won't find a 40s or 50s Lincoln with fine details like those of the teens. Even the 30s lacked detail.
Lance.

 

I'm inclined to agree with you. I don't have many high grade specimens on me, but the few I do have are weakly struck save one 1925 I sold a while back.

 

1967

 

Redwin,
Is that '67 out of a SMS set? It's a good looking Memorial.

 

Just picked up this upgrade for my Lincoln Complete and Memorials sets.

 

Nice coin, under appreciated for sure. I look for memorials with fully struck steps, keep an eye out for 'em RiverGuy. In many years they are very difficult to find and some years are impossible due to wear on the master hub.

 

I posted this awhile back with my photos. Just received TrueViews today.

 

Sorry, computer made me double post. Wish there was a way to delete posts

 

Robec, that is one fine '09! Great color!

 

Here's a funny one.

When PCGS announced its Secure Plus program, and plus grading a couple of years ago, I sent this Lincoln in, thinking it might earn a 65+ or 66. It was graded 65RB beforehand.

It didn't earn a plus, or a higher grade. Instead it came back 65RD. WTF? A few veterans ATS supported the color grade. But I don't buy it.

I like the coin, and I don't really care what the graders said. But it does make me scratch my head. Anyone else think this is full RD?
Lance.
