This thing looks great, with full brockage, and is about impossible to photograph well in the slab. Just can't get the lighting in there without awful reflections and all that. So, I saw this one on ebay, looking like a nice coin with a bad photo. Turns out that's true, but not the lister's fault but a really tough one to show very well. Thus I got it for just $18.55 including shipping. That's a bit too low for a full brockage coin, and maybe half of what it cost someone to slab the thing. So slabbing it lowered the value by making it hard to photograph well to sell, and cost far more than the coin could sell for. I am, however, quite happy to have added it to my collection of these. 1982 Lincoln Memorial cent mint error - struck through die cap Report this Post to the Staff
