My plans have changed just the last year or so. I no longer feel it would be right to make my family deal with my collection. Because of this, I'm in the process of selling most of the collection. I will be saving some special coins along with junk silver and gold to pass down. I only buy a few coins per year and that may not change. 

I’m in the same boat as you. With the exception of my wife there are no heirs. I’ve been talking about some sort of dispersal for a couple of years, but it’s all talk and I keep adding to the disease. I’m at a loss where to start as well as how to start when I’m still in the gathering mode.

The dimpled surface indicated sandblasting at the mint 

It may have been sandblasted, but there is no indication it was done at the mint. It has spent almost 50 years away from the mint. Any sandblasting or other damage was done after it left.

$2.10. Correct. 91¢ face.

$2 in 1960 = $20 and change in 2023. Still a bargain compared to what the mint charges today.

That's a beautiful copper Bob

Thank You Irvin!!

I don’t know if this has much interest among non Lincoln collectors, but for me it would center around the myth concerning a couple of  early Lincoln issues. The possibility or existence of a 1917 proof and a 1910 VDB non proof.
 

Another question is whether MPL dies were used to strike coins meant for circulation. I’ve read conflicting articles. One said MPL dies were kept in the medal room separate from regular issue dies. 

Much too young. RIP

The lowest mintage regular strike 2.6 mil . But because of this amount many were saved. It is considered a hoarded coin so it's value is low.

This was one coin that was very hard to find in rolls and circulation, at least it was for me during my roll searching days in the early 60’s. We didn’t have any coin shops locally and social media was nonexistent.

My submission is on the way back. Seven of my eleven coins I sent in received a sticker and one was my first gold sticker. The gold sticker was on a type 3 1874 gold dollar. There has been some confusion on the facts surrounding the 20 coins that can be graded annually under the old tier, so I will merely present the facts.

Sent in 20 coins 11 of which were mine

19 were reviewed under the old $16.00 economy status and my final invoice reflected the $16.00 per coin charge (not the submission form).

The old economy deal for existing members is $16.00 per coin, but with a maximum value of $3,000 per coin as per the new guidelines. The old economy tier was $16.00, but with a higher maximum value of $10,000 per coin.

One of the coins I submitted was a Saint valued at $4500.00 so it was reviewed under the new express tier price of $68.00. It did not sticker so there was a charge of $61 ($68 minus the 25% rebate) and a separate $10 handling fee.

One other point is that if you have private insurance, it must cover the whole amount of the return shipment, or you have to pay for CAC's insurance. My private insurance did not cover the whole return shipping fee, so I had to use their insurance instead. 

Per the guidelines, I still have the option of submitting one more coin this year under the old $16.00 economy tier, but it has to be valued at $3,000 or less. Once that 20th coin is submitted, any further economy submissions this year would be at the new $22.00 per coin rate with the new $3,000.00 maximum value per coin.

 

Did you receive the 100% rebate on the $16 coins that failed?
