New Lincoln Cent came back today from over there.

How do you like it?

Very, very nice! Tons of luster and wonderful coppery color. Neat coin.

I was hoping for a MS68, but we all have dreams.

thanx for sharing, rob.

I just realized... it matches, almost perfectly, your IKE Icon! Cool.

I noticed that too, Pat. Is the Ike a Peacock Ike or is it struck off-metal? As for the Lincoln cent, it looks quite nice with its rich color. Did you take the picture? It looks very good.

It (the Ike) came out of a mint set looking like that.

braddick saw it it the LB show. PCGS MS64.

I use a scanner to take the picture of both (no doctoring in Photo Shop either)

The Bicentennial Ikes can frequently be found in mint sets with this solid gold toning. I believe it is the Type-2 varieties that come this way.

 

As for the Lincoln, if you think it's an MS68, then that is a coin that NEEDS to be tried again. That would be a super money coin - not that in MS67 it isn't.

Even "over there", Greg? Maybe he should try the coin at NGC.

That coin in MS68 in either slab is a MAJOR money coin. I would try it at NGC for the grade. Across the street they seem to have a hang-up with making a money coin, much less making a money coin where there is no undergrade.

I have dicided to sell it on ebay, I started it at 1¢

 

It is to much coin for me, I'd rather have a MS65

 

Anyone want it?
