Found this while roll searching today. The photos don't do justice to the luster of the coin. Numi News has it at $25 in MS 65 which it may or may not be. Either way I'm keeping it !   |

YES! Great find! Just like you, I get all excited finding a sweet BU Memorial like that. In circulated rolls, they are very difficult to find....and it's getting worse with all the copper hoarding going on.

I was always wondering why some cents, especially old ones, keep their luster after so many years?

wd1040me too. I've noticied a lot of the 1970 lmcs in rolls are at least AU if not better. Even some blazers like in this post

Just a little off topic here but I have noticed that the pre 1983 Lincolns have stronger strikes. The Lincolns 1983 to now the image of Lincoln isn't as defined and looks more flat.

In circulated rolls, they are very difficult to find. nice coin. but I was wondering, if it was found in a circulated roll, or in change for that matter, how can it be referred to as a BU coin. I grant you its a beautiful coin but it has been circulated.  |

Just being in a roll or pocket makes it circulated but it still has all the mint luster and no prints it can still be graded as BU.
heck it may even get a higher grade. that's a nice coin for a roll find too.
send it to SGS and get yurself a real ms70 lol that was a joke

Yeah, especially the ones from the 60s. Sometimes I give them an extra look and think whether those are proofs or not. I guess it's because after the zinc changeover, the mint thought they can cut down costs by not striking the coin with that much pressure. |
