Monster inside... Sunglasses needed :)

I went a 2 week vacation.... and well while on it.. I found a few cool pieces... I 1955 Double UNC set at a good deal(Toning is ok, but not a stunner)..... a few small other coins.... then I ran into this....

Words are not needed... just Enjoy!

 

Few Questions.... Value as in toning premiun? Rarity? or Should I say what would you pay for something like this? Also any grade? MS? AU 58? Or does it really matter?

[cpm9ball]

No..................it doesn't matter................. WOW!!!

Just so people don't get confused I was referring to the coin, not Bruce!

That's a nice looking coin! If the high point of the cheek is not flattened somewhat I would say it has to be at least an MS64BN. Of course, if you're keeping it raw it doesn't really matter if there is a hint of rub. Lincoln cents when they tone that way are quite attractive.

[Bruceswar]

Would trying to place a value on this coin be like trying to predict where a dart would land? I am going to guess less than 5% of all the 1932's are toned this nice, making it quite rare in its own right.. I saw where some 1960 toned Lincolns went for huge money, but the toning was a bit better then mine. Those were memorials, and this one is about 30 years older, so how would that effect it price wise? Thanks in advance..

[MikeInFL]

That's a keeper!

 

MS 64 BN, but with that much eye appeal, who cares.

 

I would pay 2x or more over bid for that one.

 

Superb coin!

Did you buy it? Nice.

[Bruceswar]

yes I now own this beauty.... and got it at a steal

[TerrapinWill]

I think it's a very nice looking coin. As always, tough to tell from pics but it sure looks MS to me....even if it isnt, that toning is great. Curious what you paid for it??

[chinook]

I love toned copper. That one is a keeper for sure!!

[Bruceswar]

What do you think I paid for something like this? I will reveal it... but I wanna let you take a stab first

[TerrapinWill]

I really have no clue, since I'm not an early Lincoln collector....but Ill guess you paid MS62 $$ for it, with little premium for the color..

[Bruceswar]

ok I will say.. I got this at an utlra steal.... $20.00 ... That means no premium in my mind for the color... This is one that will not be going anywhere soon... maybe ever...

[TerrapinWill]

If you like the coin, then you did well. really doesnt much matter what the grade is, or what its worth if you dont plan on selling it.

[TomB]

I think you did very well at $20!

 

It's tough to guess a price on a piece like this without seeing it in-hand so as to not only get a better idea of price but also to get a better idea of the quality of toning. I sold an NGC MS65BN 1930 Lincoln two years ago in excess of $100 and that coin was uniformly and delightully violet. Another person offered me a slightly more vibrant version of my coin, with the date of 1931-D, in a PCGS MS66BN holder for $450 around the same time.

 

The color on your coin most closely resembles an absolutely monstrously toned 1938 proof Lincoln that I have in an NGC PF63RB holder and I traded the equivalent of about $80 for that coin when it bid around $25. Of course, it would take much more to pry it from my hands.

 

So, the value of your coin? I have really no clue.

[Bruceswar]

I think I am going to have this one slabbed for my own learning purposes... I plan to keep the coin... but I would also like to know what one of the major TPG's think on this one... I will also just take a stab and say from $75.00 - 100 bux would be the value and with strong bids 150.00 max? A coins value is only what someone will pay for it...
