jgrinz Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Picked this up from "RGT" Randy. The pics he posted are great and I think the coin in hand is MUCH better than the pics! The coin actually has PL qualities (I think, but I am a relative newbie). I am partial to this year - NICE COIN Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robec1347 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 The 1940 proof Lincoln from the new set of 1936-42 proof cents I just purchased. This one is designated RD by PCGS. I know, it doesn't look red to me either, but I'm not cracking it out. I also believe the reverse is cameo, but not the obverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually agree with you on all counts except that it looks RD to me if the toning was not there. Nice Lincoln Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasrichard Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 This is the first Merc I ever bought and honestly don't know how to grade them, so I don't know if its good, avg or bad for the grade. It's currently in a PCGS MS66FB holder. I'm going to do a year set for my Dad's birthyear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCcoins Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I seen those toners on the bay Paul and was going to bid but backed out at the last minute. Since I really don't collect that series. But they do look very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackson64 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 (edited) thanks e1...I wish I were a better picture taker but I have just a sony mavica with floppy discs and a round halogen light with the magnifier in the middle....here's 2 other pics taken during the day so that I got extra light from the sun through the window... Also my 1945-D * star coin too Edited November 18, 2008 by jackson64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasrichard Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Nice Jefferson ! This arrived today to add to a birthyear set.... My Dad's birthyear, so don't go thinking I'm that old yet I really don't know Cents and purchased this sight unseen. The vertical mark above the R on the OBV is on the slab. While I like it I'm surprised it graded what it did as it seems to have a lot of little nicks. It's in a PCGS MS65RD holder. Is 65 right for this ? or did it go through on a lucky day ?
