Another new Lincoln

[chinook]

Saw this coin at Rick Snow's table in Baltimore. I am a sucker for blue toners. But also for civil war dated things and Lincoln. It is also an R-9. I think it compliments my toned IHC's and matte proofs.

I like it, and it does complement your Lincoln matte proofs. The "rope" dentils on the obverse are a fancy frame for a relatively rustic portrait. Is this coin classified as a CWT?

That's a very cool coin. I like it too.

 

Hey, on the reverse is that a double-barrel cannon? ...or a cannon with a muzzel on both ends? ...I can't tell with all them flags in the way.

I think it's two cannons.

[Murphy-migration]

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised.

Hey, is that a cannon ball you got there as your ICON? If it is, then you need to make them flames more red that are coming off of it. The way it is it looks like a ECLYPSE.

I love that coin! I've seen that reverse somewhere (not necessarily on a coin) but I just can't seem to place it...

Nope, not a cannonball, it's a total solar eclipse. Astronomy is one of my other hobbies. It's one of NGC's stock avatars, but I don't like it very much. I think I'll go change it.
