Not yet. I'm waiting to complete it before I post pictures. I have about 20 coins left to complete my 8100, 19 common memorials and the 1946P wheat. It's basically done but I also have some adjusting to do since I want no slabbed coins and all XF or better.
Here's what I have slabbed.
1909 VDB NGC MS66 Red
will sell and downgrade to put in album
1909-S ANACS AU58 (On the way) *will put in album as is*
1909-S VDB PCGS MS64 RB
will sell and downgrade to put in album
1914-D NGC VF20 (now upgrade on the way) *will put in album as-is*
1922 Plain Strong Rev PCGS G06
will sell and upgrade to XF to put in album
On the 22 Plain I'll have to decide whether to go with Strong Rev, Weak Rev or even Weak D. I really want to go with Die Pair 2 (strong rev) but cost might be an issue. Those puppies are not cheap in XF.

I looked at the Zoom pics in the auction and agree it could go AU50 easily. The price is very fair.
You say you're downgrading the 1909-S VDB PCGS MS64 RB? How far down? I've got a PCGS MS63RB I would consider trading for it with either cash or coins making up the difference.
PM if interested.

bherring, I'm actually looking for all brown to match the other coins in the album. Do you have a picture of it?
My 64 RB is toned a nice, light emerald green with only a slight hint of red in there. The color really shows off the detail, which is quite sharp. The coin is quite unique and I've always been curious what it can bring on the market. It's not really that rainbow toning that always brings a premium, but it's also a lot nicer than just plain old brown. But also there's only a couple slivers of actual red.

Wow! Great looking Cent - and I'm  with envy! I have to agree with some others - it does look AU to me. It's hard to tell from the photo but the wear on Lincoln's ear, tie and the wheat tips look fantastic - as in there is virtually none that I can see. Clinton ANA# R-3153262 |

Wow!  Very Nice!  Quote:
I have a standing offer to a potential buyer for that one, but if he declines I'll be putting up for sale on Coincommunity.  Quote:
I'm cracking it out and putting it in my album regardless. Good call! She will look very nice in there! Quote:
I'm actually looking for all brown to match the other coins in the album. That is how I am tackling mine. Most of my wheat cents were collected when I was much younger (and much poorer). I cannot see myself upgrading them after almost thirty years, so I thought it would be easier to match my keys to those middling grades.  |

bherring1964, I like it! And that's those are fantastic, high res pictures. When they're blown up that large you can plainly see every flaw, and on yours they are minimal. I bet it looks great in hand. I wish I knew someone local who can take picutres like that.
Yours is a very nice one, but a bit redder than I'm looking for. How did you take the picture?

That picture was taken by the seller: http://northeastcoin.com/I just bought it about 6 weeks ago and yes - it still has a lot of red. I don't have the equipment to take pics like that but the guys on the "Photography" forum here at CCF can help you out. |

Hello all, my 1914-D just arrived!
The bad news: It was a bit diappointed. The pictures do a good job of hiding wear. I was fully expecting an AU looking coin, but it is without a doubt a true XF45. I also recently received my 09-S, a spectacular AU58 that exceeded my expectations. That, along with the pictures of this probably gave me unrealistic hopes.
The Good News: It IS a solid XF45 and the surfaces are clean and smooth. The coin is fairly and accurately graded so I suppose I shouldn't complain. :)
I'll take pictures later on. I'm off to the post office then lunch.

Sorry to hear about the disappointment! I'm glad you were able to see the silver lining though in that it is a solid XF for you. I'd love to see a picture when time allows and of the 09-S too. :-)
