1977-P MS67RD Lincoln
I've been looking for an MS67 copper memorial cent for a long time. They always sold for more than I was willing to pay for a modern.

I know I was the proverbial bump in the road for you a couple of times but glad it worked out for you. Now you can start hunting for the MS68RDs - there are a few of them pre 1982 you know
Take care, Dave
Thanks. The 77-P has a much lower pop than the 74-D.
Dave--you didn't get in my way; I could have bid more if I really wanted those.
I already updated the type set... one more coin and I can be in the top five (again)
Modern Type Set (Circ Strike)
Super nice coin and I love the color. Congrats!

Dave - Interesting question about how many ms68s are out there; the pop report shows 6 for sure - 1974D, 1976 (2), 1977, 1979 and 1981. Then there are the 1982s and 1982Ds - can't really tell if any are copper. I would doubt that many, if any, are copper, but I recall datentype once telling me he thinks that some of the 68s he has made were copper rather than zinc.

In addition to these there are likely to be 68, 68-S, 69, 70-S, 71-S, 72-S, 74, and 78 in MS-68.
Some which are relatively common in 67 may not exist in 68 though. Unless they can be found
rolls, the 72-D is likely to be the toughest memorial in MS-65.
looking at rolls, but those which are available generally cost a lot more than mint sets.
The 72-S is pretty easy to find real nice in sets but there aren't many just-missed coins.
Thanks for the info Wondercoin.
For a POP 39 coin,I would say you did well.Al
We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.
Good job on your latest purchase, I just looked at that set and am feeling your hot breath on my neck !!!
Pretty soon I'll be seeing the back of your head, as you will be feeling my hot breath.

If ignorance is bliss, shouldn't we have more happy people ??
