Hey guys, get ready to drool!  I found it last November in the wild and PCGS correctly attributed it shortly after, giving it PR66RB. It's so close to RD though! Then it went to CAC and got the green! It's a gorgeous, almost completely untoned specimen, that survived the last century raw and darn near untouched until I had the privilege to find him sitting in a 2x2 album pretending to be a 1909p business strike. It will be in the Stacks Baltimore auction 3/29 - 3/31 2017 next month for you MPL guys to check out. A true high-grade wild find that hasn't been to auction, or seen, ever! It is the Coinfacts plate pic for the grade / designation -Chris Coin World article: http://www.coinworld.com/news/us-co...of.all.html#   *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

Nice pick Chris. Hopefully it sells for a lot of money. Do you own the coin or does it still belong to your friend? You going to split the profits for finding this rare find?

Thanks guys! This is my first forum and where I cut my teeth as most of you know!
I wonder why the thread was moved. Was the main forum not the better place for this thread?

Excellent coin ...  Very cool story ... I am very curious to see how the auction goes. --------------- I am just guessing a Mod moved the thread because Lincoln cents fall under Modern coins. It happens to me once in a while too. Edit - should have mentioned .. more Lincoln fans are in modern coin section. Edited by GR58

Think of all the toned Morgans you can buy with your soon-to-be-6-digit bank account...
