literally mouth watering color on that 13-D. That coin just pops and it is amazing looking. CAC candidate for sure.

Fantastic! 1909-1920 is probably my favorite era in the Lincoln series, and a spendy one too in these grades! It's definitely a great period for toners. Good luck on your set.

That 13 S is STUNNING! Thank you for sharing these three gentlemen with us.

The 13-P is my favorite. The purple color is so unique.  |

The strike on the 13-s is exceptional!

The `13 S is simply just too sharply struck and free of marks to be a 64. It qualifies as a 67 in my book any day!

Any plans to pick up the proof?

There is a (comparatively) large and distracting mark directly in front of Lincoln's forehead which was the very first thing I saw on that coin. It snagged my eye instantly, being in a prime visual focusing area. There's also what looks like a hit from a foreign object that struck both the field and the rim at 3:00. On the reverse, there's a nick in the E and field chatter to the left of CENT, as well as a ding on the rim at 5:00. I think 64 is conservative for this one, but in no way does it exceed 65. The Philadelphia coin is in all ways the superior of the two. And unfortunately, I have to move this to Moderns, where it belongs. On the bright side, that's where the Lincoln guys hang out.  |

Thanks for moving this thread. I did not realize I was missing so much of my stuff.
Also you are correct with the 13-s and 13-P
I cant wait to get my pics of the 13-D
Also Jimbux I am not doing the proofs just the regular strike through 1920

I'm usually not much for toned coins, but that purple toning DOES look really cool!
