My First Lincoln

[BOILER78]

Well actually this is the first Lincoln I've purchased in 35 years and it is currently the only Lincoln cent in my collection. I bought this from Mike Printz at Larry Whitlow ltd to fill the Lincoln cent slot in my mint state toned type set. The coin in hand is definitely more colorful than the image but Mike did an excellent job of capturing the "essence" of the coin. The luster just explodes off the coins surfaces. I hope Mike doesn't mind my changing the background from his signature blue to black?

 

Thanks Mike for another great coin...... now find me a two cent piece that looks just like it!

That looks like an amazing coin Mark.....I knew that if you bought a lincoln....I would have to check it out

That looks like a spectacular coin, and I might add that Mike sent me an email to tell me that your coin looks eerily similar to my 1909 VDB that he had previously imaged for me.

I kinda like the slight blue haze above each initial in VDB ... I am slightly jealous of the coin BUT I am not a lincoln collector per se .. but a beauty

nevertheless

congrats

Congrats on your purchase.

That's a very pretty Lincoln, and the fact that it's an '09-S VDB makes it even better. I'd love to see the other "type" coins for your set...

You know ,I think Boiler has a collection that would go well with a glass of Drambuie or some 150 year old Grand Marnier.....

 

 

 

 

 

I would love to see his whole collection.AND I would happily buy the refreshments.

One of the nicest Linolns I've ever seen. I'm jealous and envious.
