DoctorBurnzy Pillar of the Community United States 1378 Posts	Posted 04/28/2019 5:54 pm I purchased two Lincoln cents proof today. A 1961 PCGS PR 67 RD and a 1954 PCGS PR 64 RB POP (3/2). I'm trying to complete a colorful 1950 through 1964 colorful tone Lincoln proof set. For purposes of PCGS sets I'm trying to complete a colorful 1950 through 1959 type set. Here's the two seller's photos from today's purchases and below that I'll add the others from the 1950's I have. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/28/2019 6:25 pm That's quite a run! The '54 really pops. What's with that spot in the obverse field of the '50? Do you keep an eye on it? Report this Post to the Staff
DoctorBurnzy Pillar of the Community United States 1378 Posts	Posted 04/28/2019 6:27 pm I asked a dealer a few months back and he said it was lamination. I should confirm it with my go-to dealer though. Edited by DoctorBurnzy 04/28/2019 6:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/28/2019 8:20 pm Never heard of a proof lamination, but the shape of this is odd for sure. Whatever it is detracts somewhat, I think. Report this Post to the Staff
DoctorBurnzy Pillar of the Community United States 1378 Posts	Posted 04/28/2019 8:40 pm I had never heard of lamination beforehand......Now I'm going to have to pull it out of the bank again and get another opinion. I gave to a dealer a few towns away one day when I was going down with friends. I asked his opinion on the coin. He said your missing some flakes on the coin...probably air bubbles at one point caused the surface to change and eventually flake off. I thought ok that makes it a mint mistake thus the PCGS people must've thought that when grading it.......But now, I need to get another opinion close up. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 04/29/2019 7:31 pm Very, very nice! Great choice going for the toned set! Are going for the 1936 up at some point? Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
DoctorBurnzy Pillar of the Community United States 1378 Posts	Posted 04/29/2019 9:21 pm BadThad. It's very hard to go from 1936 to 1950 with color.........I'm sticking to the 1950's for a while....a nice 1951 preferably; however, just because you asked I do happen to be one of the 8 people watching that coin....just putting it out there. I am aware of said coin....and also the 1958 with the great reverse but the not so great obverse. I believe that coin will be there a little while so I am in no rush unless I hit Keno again next weekend. BooM! I did think about that 1936 proof cent this weekend, but I went with the standing liberty 1925 instead because of the color, the OGH, and the FH. It had it all and I thought there was more of a chance of that coin selling than the 1936 Lincoln proof you speak of. But, it's on my mind. lol Edited by DoctorBurnzy 04/30/2019 05:25 am Report this Post to the Staff
DoctorBurnzy Pillar of the Community United States 1378 Posts	Posted 04/29/2019 9:55 pm BadThad, I blame you for this...or credit you. I still had some extra left over in the PayPal balance which I was going to use for something else...it's not the 1936....but it is a 1959 Pr 64 RB. It fills a hole and it's not that bad, BadThad. These are the seller's photos. I have to try and bring back the 1950's first; hopefully it's there in the end. Apparently the 1954 made very good time and should be in today's mail. I'll have that up later tonight I think since it's already at my post office. Edited by DoctorBurnzy 04/30/2019 08:11 am Report this Post to the Staff
DoctorBurnzy Pillar of the Community United States 1378 Posts	Posted 04/30/2019 7:11 pm OK the 1954 is in. It's very nice. Unlike the other 1950's I have which give off a rather neon rainbow toned effect. This one is a littler more subtle and gives off colors more like an IHP proof. Take a gander.

DoctorBurnzy Pillar of the Community United States 1378 Posts	Posted 05/26/2019 5:37 pm I saw this last night and picked it up a few minutes ago. It fills the hole very nicely I think. Seller's photo. Edited by DoctorBurnzy 05/26/2019 5:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
