Anyone know who currently has these Lincolns?

I'm trying to track down these toned Lincoln cents so that I can try to make a deal with the owner. If anyone knows who has them, please message me:

    Building a set of BN Proofs? That’s an interesting challenge.

    Nothing is as expensive as free money.

    To be more specific, toned BN proof Lincolns. It's a fun challenge, and very difficult, because of all the low pop dates

    Cut cents out of proof sets, then put into Kraft coin envelopes for a few months. Bam! Toned Brown proof cents. Some attractive, some not. Btw, I do NOT recommend that tactic.

    Trust me, if you could get a naturally toned proof cent with a full BN grade from just a few months in envelopes, everyone would be doing it. Sure would be convenient, but the extremely low pops on the later dates makes it a more fun hunt. Plus, it makes it so that I find them at a rate that my budget can afford them :D

    I stuck a 1982 S proof that is already partially toned (but not quite a full BN yet) into a kraft coin envelope a few months ago. No change so far, but I'm willing to wait a few years

    The reason the pops are so low is there is not much demand. If there ever is ever enough demand the coin doctors will be cranking them out by the case load.

    Good luck in your search.... Seems like hunting the proverbial needle in the haystack.... Cheers, RickO

    Try placing it on top of your water heater :D

  • I have not seen that tone before, good to know still learning.
