The toning is really awesome in hand. That's what made me notice it, and I don't even like toning. I believe this is a large date? Pics are extremely high resolution and I take horrible photos so that's really not a great combo to show off how pretty it looks in hand. It is a great way to show every single minute flaw, make the surfaces look rough, and make sure the details are blurry ;-) Please let me know what you think?

Here is one by scrolling down a bit that has photos from coop that shows you how to identify the differences. http://goccf.com/t/276247 The coin itself appears to have plating bubbles giving it the rough appearance.

yellow88 Pillar of the Community United States 581 Posts	Posted 12/09/2018 09:29 am Thanks T-BOP especially for the photo compliment. That put a smile on my face this morning. I needed that. I certainly appreciate you taking your time and sharing your grading expertise T-BOP. As I eluded to in my OP about lack of skill the surfaces are perfectly smooth but no matter how hard I tried they look bumpy in pics. Thankfully I was able to capture the toning fairly well. I was curious if Lincoln Cent collectors (you all) like their cents toned or bright red/brown etc? Report this Post to the Staff
