BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19930 Posts	Posted 08/31/2008 4:55 pm I couldn't resist this toner today. The pictures just don't do this coin ANY justice. The colors are amazing in hand. You can see the dealer was very excited....as I was. I've only ever seen one other coin toned like this, and it's already in my collection. It's a very rare thing when a wheatie tones blue/green over the entire surface of either side. Just for the doubters....this coin is definately not AT. I've included one reverse angle shot where the coin just looks plain red, this is not possible in an AT coin. Enjoy the light show! Lincoln Cent Lover!

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 08/31/2008 5:11 pm Great color...I have a 09-S VDB which looks very similar, so maybe mine isn't AT after all? I find it's so hard to grade coins from pics from AU-MS. So I'm assuming the hits on Mr. Lincoln aren't wear and I'm looking at 64-65. Edited by KurtS 08/31/2008 5:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19930 Posts	Posted 09/02/2008 7:47 pm This coin is a very solid MS65-66 and a TGP may even grade it higher. There's nary a hit on it and the eye appeal is absolutely stunning. The dealer I bought it from has sold me a LOT of Lincolns, it's one of his specialties. I buy from him every show as he always has some outstanding Lincolns. For him to write this on the 2x2 says a lot about the coin. He's an old guy and he's seen a lot of Lincoln's in his life. He's the best Lincoln grader I've ever met. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
