Since 78. It came from Mike DeFalco.

 

It still has the two tone scheme. Who is Mike DeFalco?

 

Looks AT/QT to me.

 

IMHO I'd guess it's NT. I once had a 1932 Lincoln cent but the blue was only on the obverse and covered half the coin.

Mike DeFalco was a dealer who sold many toned coins. Unfortunately he passed away in 2010. There are some tidbits of info as well as many positive messages in the following threads that I found:

When I didn't get an answer I looked him up.
I don't buy from the internet so I wouldn't know.
Thanks.

 

I say qc on the Lincoln. Looks like ms 70 to me

 

I thought you were kidding with the grinning happy face so I didn't reply. Some of his coins are in the Sunnywood Simpson Morgan collection. He sold my 1904-O to my father in 78.

 

@BlackberryPie you can post your next coin if it's ready.

 

It's out of focus. I need to figure my macro lens out but I'll give it a shot.
PCGS

 

Can you please try again? Maybe try to photograph the entire holder?

 

NT

 

If we're using the current photo, I'd be in the MA/NT camp.

 

Try this one instead..

 

Mike DeFalco owned Island Rare Coins and he specialized in rainbow toned coinage.

I say NT/MA

 

Thanks Lehigh

I am NT/ MA myself judging between the photos. Although those blues and reds together are kind of a no no on copper.

 

So we're calling a mulligan on the first Lincoln and officially using the 1955-S above (until tomorrow).

It look fine to me, so I'll say MA/NT.
