BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 02/07/2008 6:06 pm My newest acquisition! These are VERY difficult to photograph because of the mirrored surface. The obverse dark spots are due to photograhy and NOT the coin. The coin is bright red: Lincoln Cent Lover!

jbakic Valued Member United States 251 Posts	Posted 02/07/2008 7:41 pm Beautiful Lincoln, I would rate it MS-65. It looks like on the obverse there is a darker line from the top of the E in Liberty to about 10:00 on the rim. I assume this is due to photography as well. If it is actually on the coin, MS-60.

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 02/10/2008 1:42 pm LOL @ Metalman! It was a lucky find. My fav coin shop had a short set that just came in sitting on the counter. I was all over that coin! I was just surprized it wasn't hazed like most proofs this old. It was glowing red in the Capital holder. Lincoln Cent Lover!

InfiniteInterest Pillar of the Community United States 673 Posts	Posted 02/10/2008 2:31 pm That is a nice brilliant proof BadThad, I would give this one at least a PF-67.That small mark on the obverse near the rim at 8 o'clock and reverse by the right side wheat ear may hold it back. Great looking coin ! And some nice pics too. Report this Post to the Staff
