[I am by no means a gold guy. My first love is copper, and this chocolate-brown baby is right up my alley. I love all the coins you showcase. Thanks for sharing them. (Nice denticles!)

Q.A.:  Nice re-strike!

LEM E:  Do you ever stop thinking about Roosters?  This is an Indian Head Cent!

Q.A.  My bad!  That's a truly awesome I.H.C, and a very respectable grade!

Hey wait, this is the thread I can leave comments on! 🤔   I can honestly say I find this coin, this date, in this superb condition, to be downright intimidating and a sight to behold. It is really a shame you felt you had to de-encapsulate it to display its awesome detail for a live studio audience. Great piece!

Gorgeous. Granted I have not been around the forum much lately, but when did you switch to copper?????  I guess you finally acquired all of the best Jeffersons on the planet and now you've started on Lincolns.....

Thanks GBrad. This is actually the first slabbed Lincoln I ever bought. I don’t have very much copper in my collection. I just finally had Joe image this coin and several others last week. I don’t think I will ever be done with the Jeffs. I appreciate it brother and I hope you are doing well.

Welcome to the world of copper, and my personal favorite series.

Thanks CB. I have acquired a few pieces here and there. A few of them are even red, but I’m particularly fond of woodies.

@Lem E:

Woodies?  You're not old enough to remember "Woodies"!  Those stationwagons with the wooden trim were referred to universally, as Woodies. If not cars, what were you referring to?  🤔 

[Lem E]

My parents had a “woodie” station wagon, but it was not the old surfboards on top type. It was more of the National Lampoon’s Family Truckster type only in red.

I apologize. I didn’t answer your original question. Woodie or Woody. I’ve seen it both ways.

@Lem E:

Still don't quite get it. Must be the yawning generation gap or something.  I absolutely love copper!

"Sorry folks, park is closed, the moose should have told you outside"....... Oh my!!!! That is iconic!  Great movie.  (Sorry to go off topic here, my apologies, I just could not resist)

QA woodies refers to the wood grain toning on coins.

Nice little change find tonight. Not in too bad of shape. Even filled an empty hole in the Whitman album.
