Thanks. I hope it is. I’m curious what that is at the bottom of the eagle claw. Die crack maybe? I can’t tell. I do buy white coins every once in a while.

It looks raised in the photo to me so I would also think die crack.

So this lady arrived today, the final coin to complete my 1936 year set.     Sellers pics so not the best, will have to work on some better photos.

Very nice piece. I was supposed to be getting my new Walker today, but unfortunately they sent me the wrong coin. I got a 1945 D Lincoln 66RD instead. Not sure if they sent my coin to someone else but if the recipient of my coin isn’t honest and doesn’t send it back to the seller, they will be taking a good hit. Not quite sure what they can do in that situation. I would like to have the coin but I will get my money back at least if they can’t find it. I hope it pans out and I get the coin.

I had a seller send me the wrong coin last year, I was lucky as he had just swapped it and still had the correct coin.   I hope you are successful in getting the coin you were expecting.

Nice frankie there @Hoghead515 has the eye appeal of a higher grade.

Very nice. I think this is a series that is currently undervalued. If it ever catches on more it will be a good series to have. I think now is a good time to buy them.

Here’s one that arrived earlier this week that I find good enough to add to my primary collection.  It will replace 2 PCGS 65’s.

This one here is a 66 that looks more like a 67 to me.

Thanks for looking, Joe

   From the sellers pics I truly had no idea what to expect because the sellers pics left a LOT to be desired. I put a lot of faith in the PCGS team on this one cause of the not so nice pics.  I give them a break because I know 1st hand how hard it is to get decent images of proof coins behind plastic.  So with that said I was pretty happy when I opened the box to find this pretty one waiting for me.

Thanks for looking😊

 

Edited to say 

1937 Brilliant proof PCGS 67+

I noticed several had fairly low prices. Im gonna put together a set before the prices start shooting up. Seems like Washingtons really started going up after i started putting togethera set of them. My mom actually bought the 1955 for me. She gave me the money for my birthday and told me to get something so I got that.

It came in today. I had work out of town this week. Had my old lady face time me and look at it over the phone. It looks very nice. Very lusterous. You can almost see yourself in it. Im very happy to add it to my collection 

[Hoghead515]

Birthday present from the old lady. Sellers pictures. Just bought tonight. 

[Coinbuf]

Congrats on your new coin and happy birthday!!

[GBrad]

Hello everyone, hope you are all doing well.  I was fortunate to win this one on an auction yesterday. These are the seller's pictures.  I've never owned a decent example of a cracked planchet so I thought I would mark that one off my list. I feel I got lucky in winning this one as the winning bid didn't break the bank.  Looking forward to seeing it in hand.

And @GBrad - That is a very cool cracked planchet!  I wish I had one like that!

No worries.  I figured it was just a typo.  I do that all the time...lol.  I went back and edited my comment.  No problem at all.  

Thanks for the like.  A friend brought it to my attention yesterday and I got lucky with only one other bidder involved.  Sometimes ya win... sometimes ya lose! I got lucky.  Thanks again.
