numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11896 Posts	Posted 03/12/2024 5:04 pm Thanks for your helpful comments. As usual, the PCGS TrueView images don't in any way reflect the way the coin looks like in hand. The coin is fairly dark brown as in my images. I find that copper can look very orange when a strong light is directed onto the coin. In particular, the surfaces don't look shiny, but at certain angles the coin lights up in purple tones in multiple shades. Maybe some day there will be a way to show a true view of the shiny metal objects we collect. Until then, we have this monstrosity. At least this image shows clearly that there is no remnant of the mintmark below the date. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11896 Posts	Posted 03/13/2024 01:11 am Later this month Stacks will auction a PCGS MS64BN CAC example of the DP2. It will probably sell in the $50,000-75,000 range. The closeups of the coin don't seem to indicate that it is well struck nor attractive for an MS64 imho. Surfaces look more like what I would expect from an AU58 coin. What do you see? Would you say that this is very choice BU? https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/l...pcgs-cac-cmq These are enlarged images of the coin in the Stacks auction in the slab. They are quite different from the juiced highlighted main auction listing images which are imho deceiving. Reverse surfaces look impaired. I would be disappointed to receive this as an MS64BN CAC coin for greater that $50K.

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19963 Posts	Posted 03/13/2024 12:00 pm There's hardly a hit on that coin. All the issues are with the surfaces which look pretty ugly by those pictures. This coin looks more like a 62/63 to me than a 64. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
