Slabbing Lower Grade Classic Coins

"I understand what your saying but it is hard to say a design that you can still see everyday in your pocket change as a classic"

Perhaps I should have used the word "iconic" instead of classic.

The "1909-S VDB" caught the imagination of people in 1909
and that has not changed a hundred year later. In the 60s even the most uninterested person could quote those words and knew that they were important. Both it and the 1914-d were heavily counterfeited. "Everyday" pocket change is not counterfeited.

Oh, the fact that the Wheat Reverse was discontinued fifty years ago at least makes these Lincoln Cent "half" classic.
I do not see "wheaties" everyday.

And the obverse? That was re-designed in 1969 at not a year too soon. It came out a lot prettier.

I did not say that all Lincoln Cents were classic. I said:

'... I consider these two to be "classic" and not modern.'

Two examples. Each of which having stood the test of time.
There should have been emphasis on the words, "these two."
Again, my mistake.

This is my explanation.
I'll be happy to answer any further questions on this matter.
