I found this one in a 1000-count bag of wheats. It's a common-date coin, with some very uncommon toning and luster. I've tried, and tried...and these two photos are the best I can come up with.

The shiny spot on Lincolns cheek is probably from the coin running through the coin-counting machine. The lack of bag-marks in the fields of this coin is very attractive to me.

Beautiful (and I don't like toned coins). Probably grade as a 63. Clean fields....

Looks like it's a LDS to me because of the uneven fields. I think that's what is giving you that cartwheel effect, IMHO. I am no pro though.

Ahh, Lovely toned Lincoln, yes, with 'cartwheel toning'


great looking fields, MS-63, too bad about the few carbon spots.

Sorry, I gotta AU-58 this one, but I bet it's attractive in hand. Cartwheel only describes luster, not toning.
