  1. Yes, that is a great looking 1912. 1912 was a tough year in respect to colorful toners, but the ones that do exist are second to none in eye appeal.

     

    I was the proud owner of the 1912 in your #2 set for about a year. It became the victim of the upgrade bug. I still think it looks as nice as any 66BN I've seen.

     

    Here is one that was too tough to pass up.

  2. Bob you got ripped on the grade on the 29. It's an easy 64. ND coming strong with those mpl's!

    It was already graded when I bought it. I'm not sure if I will have it regraded or not.

     

    The price difference between 62BN and 64BN isn't that great, but this coin does have more eye appeal than a run of the mill 64BN. At least in my opinion. :cool:

  3. I really enjoy the PF cents that WL and Bob show off. I bet it is a fun way to collect and apparently very affordable.

     

    It is fun to find to find colorful proofs. They are, for the most part, very affordable, especially when comparing them to MPL's.

     

    It's like any other series though, prices are up and down. Certain auctions command higher prices simply because of more traffic. The real trick is to find them before they get there.

  4. Bob your eye for copper and your ability to image them perfectly never fails to keep me coming back to see your latest! (thumbs u

     

    Best, HT

     

    Thank you HT. That is such a nice thing to say. You humble me! :blush:

     

    Catbert that is a gorgeous Large Cent. One like that would be a great fit for my Type Set.

  5. Dang Bob, you know those SMS'ers are my achilles! That color is outstanding, you rarely see an SMS toned this nicely. I have a quarter that I need to send you one day! It's a 67 as well, not near as nice as this one but gorgeous and cameo!

    That's the best SMS Roosevelt I have found Sam. The mirrors are crazy good with great color.

     

    I bought it from one of BNB's auctions. He has found some great items. He has them listed a bit high, but is very willing to deal.

     

    I would love to see quarter. I have a couple of nicely toned examples, but neither have good mirrors.

  6. Don't need a video for the 1917. The photo is outrageous. Beautiful Lincoln!!

     

    Oh, and you don't need to send it to NGC.......you can just send it to me. :D

     

    If you can submit the coin for me maybe I can get it certified and get professional images at the same time??? :grin:

    I would love to do both, but I love the photos you have. That would be a tough photo to beat.

    That's probably the nicest looking 1917 I've seen. That would look great in a 66BN slab, if not higher.
