HumblePie Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 01/27/2022 9:35 pm I just took this Cent out of a Mint cello pack. The coin is very reflective like a proof would be. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2957 Posts	Posted 01/27/2022 9:42 pm Makes me wonder if extra striking pressure made it get highly reflective? Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10044 Posts	Posted 01/27/2022 10:29 pm The first few number of coins minted from a fresh die can have a proof-like appearance. Since Proof coins of this date would be an S mint mark, not a D, I am guessing yours was one of the first from a fresh die.

Big-Kingdom Pillar of the Community United States 1667 Posts	Posted 01/28/2022 10:13 am too bad about that contact mark above the bottom cleft of the C on the reverse otherwise a nice coin but I don't think it makes it into MS68 because of that, and needs to be MS69 to really get anywhere. MS68 would be a break even (maybe) on the grading fee for that date and mm. Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 01/28/2022 10:22 am I must say , incredible find from a mint set cello . Yes that hit on ''C'' in cent really hurts . Report this Post to the Staff

HumblePie Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 01/28/2022 12:05 pm I think the hit on the C may have been exaggerated some in my first photos. Here is a scope photo of the area. I would not spend the $ on TPG for this Coin. I did decide to upgrade from storing it in a 2x2 though. I like these little slabs. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19968 Posts	Posted 01/28/2022 9:22 pm There are some nice examples of 99D's out there. I just went and looked at the pictures of mine. My toner has some PL stuff going on in the devices and a little bit in the fields but not like your coin with those mirror fields. Lincoln Cent Lover!
