The most under-appreciated series in Lincolns. Sorry for the angle shots, but they best showed the slightly subdued surface toning. I pulled this from a BU roll NLP sold me. It's now one of my favorite Memorials!   |

nice coin. How did the rest of the roll compare? Were there others close to the beauty of this one? I love the color and lack of contact marks.

The roll was very good for this year. I got 5 real nice coins like this one, the others MS63ish, simlar in color. It was a true OBW roll!

Thad, that's a beaut!
echizento, if I may ask...what holds this back from being an MS65?
I see some hits on the steps, and a scratch on the jacket. And maybe some hairlines in right field of obverse.

A very nice MS65RB, but "The most under-appreciated series in Lincolns" has to be the post '82 Zincolns!

This coin is actually fully red, it's hard to see that from the angle pics. I gave this coin an MS-65 RD, it's boarderline 64 with the 2-3 light hits it has, but I think it's justifed based on eye-appeal, 98% full/distinct steps and conditional rarity. Most of these are beat-up, the steps are not completely formed and from MDS-LDS.

Wow!
That's quite a '73. These come nice but only rarely and not that nice very often.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

I must say your attention to detail and your love of this simple coin is refreshing to say the least..

LOL nlp....sorry, but that's what you get for bank roll hoarding!  I keep telling chrisb to open all those daggum rolls he's hoarding too. I figure, hey, that's why people stashed them away, for a collector like me in the future! I've opened every single OBW roll I've bought....I apologise now to the guys wanting unopened OBW rolls after I'm dead...but...tough luck!
