1954 P Lincoln Wheat Cent

Send me a bottle of Verdi-Care and I'll agree with you!

I looked at the roll closely and it checked out. Sulfur toning had leached in with the typical tenticals turning the roll RB. Identified 4 distinctive dies maybe 5. The 5th weak reverse die was a hard pumper showing multiple die cracks and very late die state. About 7 are mid 3 early mid and rest late die state. These rolls are around I see them at coin shows here in KS (not 54's). the oldtimers in my coinclub have personal stashes of OBW's just have to ask and pay the premium. Not one to buy rolls off the bay but it looked good to me. May have one 66RB and 7 MS65's the rest look 64ish. I'm pleased with them, I can see how a coveted 67 is few and far for these baby's their down right fugly. Here is a few quick shots of a decent mid and late die. Can't bring any red out in shots but their all about 30-40% red. I get the drift on folks pessimism, have been burnt on rolls once so learned from oldtimers how to tell.
