BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19930 Posts	Posted 02/02/2010 9:51 pm I don't even know how this is possible! This is possibly the finest Lincoln Cent I've found seaching. This coin blew me away immediately. Just a beautiful, obverse rainbow toning on proof-like surfaces and almost completely hit free. It took a lot of effort to capture the rainbox toning with my camera. The pics aren't too bad, but they still don't tell the whole story. Lincoln Cent Lover!

Jim1953 Pillar of the Community United States 2600 Posts	Posted 02/03/2010 08:49 am Thad, that is beautiful. I find those late decade 1980's to be very poor in general. mushy dies, dirty planchets, weak strikes all make it hard to find descent examples. You have definitely found the exception to the rule.

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19930 Posts	Posted 02/03/2010 09:20 am Indeed Jim, the 80's Zincolns are generally horrible. I was actually more excited to find this coin than my MS-65 1999 WAM. Based on my experience, finding a conditional rarity coin like this is more difficult than finding a variety or error.

It was in my friends 25 year old change stash with about 20,000 other Lincolns. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
