Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 07/08/2019 09:32 am I got an obw roll of 1988 p Lincoln's and there are two distinctly different coins in there. I got 8 that look like proofs, I posted one on the error forum and got no conclusion. These are two of the gems I pulled from the roll both with very different edges. My only thought is that these are sms coins? Coin 1 with proof appearance and edge. Coin 2. This is a coin from the same roll 42 of them were this color with a normal edge. Any thoughts on this? And you might as well post a grade! Report this Post to the Staff

Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 07/08/2019 10:04 am I see coins graded 68 selling with bubbles on them. I'm really just wondering about the edges? Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19964 Posts	Posted 07/08/2019 7:50 pm There's just a ton of variation from the mint with these. Some strikes are better than others and the colors can be very different. First coin looks real nice, at least 66RD. Second one ~65RD. Both may go higher depending on how they look in hand. I'm guessing you checked all those coins for the RDV? Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
