Hi guy's, got this idea from erwindoc's thread about the 1955s Lincolns. Thanks e. I've had this framed roll of 1955s Lincolns awhile back, almost 10 years.

As you can see, I stuck them into 50 ring capsules. In which, I bought from a Jewelers. Anyway, since then some of the coins had turned into toned gems. Here are my favorite ones out of the 50. Also, with a couple interesting characteristics on two of them. First the toners.









Now the two interesting ones

I have two of these!

    It looks like the last Lincoln came off a different die than the others.

    Are you talking about the last toned one or the die chip? The one above the die chip Cent, with the gouge. I have two identical ones.

    The '55S is getting a lot of attention the last day or so... I should dig out mine... though I am sure they are all circulated brown. Years ago, when living in WA state, I had a jar of wheaties accumulated over the years...I had my wife go through them one day and pull out all the '55 cents while I was away on a business trip. I was hoping a '55 DDO had slipped into the pile. No luck, but some '55S cents did show up. Cheers, RickO

    I'm not a fan of the toning. The one with the die gouge I like.
