After nearly 30 years of working on my Lincoln set, I also finally broke down and purchased one from a local dealer in Spokane about 5 years ago. I paid $750 for an xf example, but only after extensively researching the diagnostics of a genuine coin. The dealer also guaranteed that if it does not slab, I can return it. I am quite happy with my purchase as these have gotten more expensive every year! I would post pics, but I am on vacation currently:).

The problem for them is, whoever can afford it most likely could also
afford an MS-63 RB or even an MS-64 RD, and they're willing to wait
until the RB or RD coin turns up.
I'd almost want to have a BN coin over a RB or RD for a Dansco album. Those RD and RB coins will eventually turn BN. Sometimes, a nice chocolate BN coin has nicer eye appeal than a RB coin. swcoin.ecrater.com

All of my Wheat Cents are brown by choice. Since all of the Memorials came from circulation, they range from Red (after 1980) to Red-Brown (before 1980). After 25 years in a Dansco (for the ones dated before 1985 at least), they still appear as red as when they were put in. However, I cannot say what will happen over the next 25 years. Even if all of the Memorials eventually browned, I would be okay with it. I actually prefer to look of a brown cent to a red one. |

Nelrak, that is an absolute BEAUTY!  Bravo on that find! Is it certified or raw? Answering the OP, I found mine in an online store. It was in a PCGS AU58 holder. I don't have any photos of it, but it looked spectacular in the photos and it merely looks very decent for the grade in hand. No flaws or blemishes. Only a straight forward, true AU58 so I can't complain too much. Edited by USArmyParatrooper

I have no doubt it will, Nelrak. Personally I see no reason to bother with a CAC sticker, though.

A good friend gave me a (F-VF) 14-D and a (VF-XF) 31-S, and I found a (I believe) (F) 22-Weak D in circulation; I would probably trade them for a 09-S VDB. Oh well...  |
