No plans to crack it out of its slab. Am going to take it to my LCS next week when I get it. Quote: Congratulations! Thanks, jbuck! Broke my record for most ever spent on a coin... Quote: There does appear to be a good bit of Red remaining for a Brown designation. The pictures may be deceiving however. You bought it from one of the top seller's of U.S. Small Cents in the world so I'm sure it's plenty nice (or he wouldn't have bought it!). Yeah, that red really stood out to me. Yes, pictures indeed can be deceiving, but judging by what I saw and the comments left for the seller, they seem to have a very good reputation. I can't wait to get it in the mail!

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19963 Posts	Posted 02/08/2018 10:03 pm I'd like to see some better pictures with a bit less light.....more like it'd look in hand. I suspect it may look more like this in hand: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1926-S-Lin...100012.m1985 Lincoln Cent Lover!

John77 Pillar of the Community United States 2917 Posts	Posted 02/16/2018 11:19 pm It's a beautiful coin... VERY happy with it. A nice amount of red on both sides. I'll try and take some better pictures of the reverse (pictures are a little blurry) - it actually is a tad more red than the obverse. CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years!

John77 Pillar of the Community United States 2917 Posts	Posted 02/18/2018 07:48 am Thanks, jbuck... the goal is to eventually have my Lincoln set with every coin displaying at least a trace of red luster - that means I'll eventually have to crack the four figure barrier (09S VDB and 14-D). This one definitely was one I knew I would be tough...and to get an MS-64 example with a good amount of red showing for under 4 figures is awesome! Right now I'm working my way back through the 1920s. Lots of tough coins, but this one is definitely the toughest one to find from that decade with some red.
