Some nice Memorial cents for those who like them

You all are very correct IMO. Most coin dealers are not knowledgeable in th Lincoln Memorial series. They're missing out on this very interesting cent. I guess they think it is not lucrative enough for them. This is not meant as an insult. It is a very time consuming series.
Thad, on your 1968-S reverse, what is that above the E in one and the C in cent?

Anything you see is from the airtite holder/reflections. I put it in the airtite and then realized I didn't have pictures. DOH! LOLOLOL This coin is nearly flawless in hand and the sharpest strike I could find. Compare the reverse with any other 68-S, this coin rocks. :kewl:

 

Thanks. I never even thought of a reflection being the cause.
I just checked some of my '68's and I see what you mean. zeke

 

A Gem Bu from a roll

I found 2 Gem Bu bank rolls of 1983 and one roll had 15- 83-D in it.
:kewl: would you grade it for me???

 

I'd say MS66 RD. Very nice 'D' cent. I want one of those. Someday I'll, I'll, I'll-------find one.

 

Nice jello! That coin looks to be at least MS-64.

 

I like it a great deal. These usually have terrible surfaces and this one is nice. The reverse isn't as good but the coin should get a bump or two for being tough. I'd think it would go MS-66 probably. I don't have a lot of experience with this date but don't think I've seen one nicer.

 

You're right, these are nomally bumpy with gas bubbles. Even mine has a few:

 

My 1982-D SDZ is very nice....I love this coin:

 

Nice coins. Never really paid attention to these - all of mine come from pocket change. I really like the color and look of some of these coins.

 

that a Gem for 1982:kewl:

 

Here a 1960 small date proof

 

Here's an 85-D I found while searching a Brinks box...an AMAZING find:

 

Here's another amazing Brinks find, the above coins brother!

 

yea, what is with those "bubbles". I've noticed those also.

 

very nice red specimens. The only thing I have about the 60's lincolns is that he really started to spread out and lose a lot of detail and they did nothing about it until 1969.

 

Here are a few I've set aside over the years... use to search boxes and pick out the best 2 or 3..... too much work, but found some nice examples of a few dates.

 

A few more...

 

6 to go in my memorial collection.....
