For the love of copper 4 4

[hunter's gold]

Nice looking copper Hard Times. i posted this 38 S Lincoln the other night as a recent addition to my 34-58 Lincoln CAC set. Lesson learned on this coin. I am normally meticulous when it comes to verifying certification numbers on coins. Bought the 38 S from a seller that i have been doing business with for a long time. Verified the NGC #s but I forgot to check them in the CAC database. 38 S NGC # is good but it does not show up in the CAC database. Failed to do my homework on this one. The seller is a top notch seller and he took care of it for me with no problem. Remember, knowledge is your friend

Another new addition to my 34-58 CAC set. The scratches across Lincoln's forehead and face are on the slab. This one is nice

[wheat'swheats]

Here is my newest Lincoln and for you non Lincoln people it is a very tough date in this condition and CACed. Also for you who are looking for a nice 23 s I have a PCGS 63 rb CAC for sale

Very nice 41 Hunter

 

Wonderful upgrade Wheat, very tough coin to find that nice.

[Keigwin]

Wow. I like that '23-S, wheat'swheats. I too have a '23-S in 64RB which I searched long and hard for, and it cost a pretty penny.

 

That one looks very special! A superb strike and lovely color. You will never be sorry you bought it. Congrats.

Lance.

[wheat'swheats]

Thanks Lance, I have a 63 rb CAC that this upgraded. Most non Lincoln folks don't realize just how hard this coin is to find in higher grades and even harder with a CAC sticker. When you do find one you have to pay out the nose to get it.

and it cost a pretty penny.

 

I get it...

Just added this one from last night Heritage Auctions. Not bad for $115 before fees

Lee, your 1917 is no slouch. I saw that one posted with that other coin a few days ago and, even though that other coin was striking, that Lincoln is the one that got my rocks off!

 

 

PCGS PR68RB

 

 

WL, I have been meaning to ask you if PCGS is paying you any royalties for taking your virtual coin board idea and examples and running with it as their "Newest Greatest Thing!"

 

When they first unveiled that I immediately thought of you.

This thread has stalled a little bit so we'll move it on with this:

 

 

 

This coin was lost in the mail. Fortunately I found it.

 

Ex-Charmy Collection.

Interesting colors and wood grain o that 1909 Lee.

 

I got nothing ..... So I will post something I like to see on a Lincoln. Die polish and lots of it.

 

 

 

Too bad the coin is all spotted and not higher quality.

way cool, i like

[leeg]

Very nice 22-D.

 

 

I used to own a 22-D that had the most amazing reverse die cracks I've every seen.

 

I'll post it here when I get a chance.

 

 

[wheat'swheats]

I just got this one back from CAC for a reconsideration and it got a Gold bean. It has got the strongest strike I have ever seen in a 22d. It has to be very early in the die life it is a 64 rb by the way

Here's the latest addition to my toned type set. I had a hard time finding an Indian Cent with color, but I love this one! The coin is flawless but the holder has seen better days.

That's beautiful David!!

Here's the reverse of a 22-D I used to own:

 

 

 

 

 

[robec1347]

I love that one Lee. Too bad you no longer own it.

[wheat'swheats]

Here's the reverse of a 22-D I used to own:

 

 

 

 

You can find several stages of this die break and can watch it progress, it first shows on the left top and progresses until the die falls apart. Make a great display.

It has been rumored that there is 60% copper in these. Enough to qualify?

 

 

 

 

 

[johnny9434]

nice strike

[lordmarcovan]

Holey schmoley!

 

I don't think I've ever seen a RED 1914-D before.

 

(Yeah, I don't get out from under my rock very often.)

 

The others posted here are sweet, too.

 

Though not in the same league, here are my most recent copper newps.

I like that 1851 Very much.

 

I think I saw you post it elsewhere and it had a view of the entire slab, which in turn allowed one to see the darker color, which I liked better.
