I posted about this coin in another thread where I was trying to make up my mind.  
The coin finally came-in!  Very excited to have this one in my date set.
I tried to capture all the die rust, showing this to be a later die state, however, this coin still exhibits some denticles on the obverse/reverse.  Early die states are fairly rare and expensive.
The small white speck at K-10 is on the holder not the coin.

I just bought this one a few days ago. I am fairly new at attributing these large cents, but I believe it is a N-12 / Die stage (B). That would put this as an R-1. This was done solely based on the seller pics and I will have to confirm once I get the coin in hand. 
**EDIT** N-12 confirmed.

And here is my most recent copper purchase of note. I’m not a huge copper guy admittedly, but I am working on my US type set. I posted this a while back in the new acquisition thread and again props to @Coinbuffor hooking me up with the seller of this beauty. It’s even better in hand. 

I picked this up raw on a recent work trip. Fairly nice coin. I was just using it to test out a lighting setup for my camera. 

I’ve been looking through these pages for the last couple of hours. Excellent post! I thought I’d share (2nd attempt) a coin from a set I call my rescue set. Coins that I have found that I feel no one else would want. I showed this to my son when I found it and he said, “ now that’s where the expression PRETTY ugly comes from”. 

Speaking of blue:

A very common date and coin, but its hard to find Lincolns as clean as this one is.   Usually you see some contact marks and very often there are some chicken scratch marks on the shoulder, this is one clean Lincoln.
 

My weekly add to the thread.  I purchased this from a PCGS forum member on that boards marketplace section earlier in 2021, but Mark Goodman just shot these photos for me.   Great color that really glows when the light hits it just right.   A very nice coin and exceptional images by Mark.
 

Apparently this is currently owned by Fred Weinberg.
