wtb 1999 type 2 rev. pcgs ms-67

joeyuk

There are four out there. I would like to buy one.

Boy, none have been made since last August when the pop went from 2 to 4. It looks like these are going to be tougher than was thought when PCGS first recognized them.

Enlighten me, I assume it is a Lincoln Cent? Type 2 reverse? Business strike? Proof strike?

Heres pics of them. On the type 1 the A and M are close and the FG is farther from Memorial base. On the type 2 the A and M are spread and the FG is closer to the Memorial base.

pcgs has 29 graded in ms67 and 2 finer.
ngc has 21 graded in ms67 and 2 finer.


Price can be found most likely on e-bay completed items.

So these were produced in 1998, 1999 and 2000?

Weren't they also produced in earlier years?

The type 2, isn't that a proof reverse die?

And last question, the ones that have been found, were they found in mint sets, rolls, or in general circulation?

It is my understanding the wide AM rev. was in use for business strikes form 1986 to 1995. Then from 1996 to present they used the close AM for business strikes and the wide AM for proofs. So the 1998, 1999 and 2000 wide AM (type 2) are from the proof rev. die. The only other year I am aware of is the 1992-D. The wide AM was the normal business strike rev. A couple were made with the close AM die. For 1992 I am not sure but I would imagine it was also a proof die mix up.



edit to add: I was mistaken to say the wide AM hub was in use till 1995. That is what it shows in the Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents by David Lange pg. 39. A conversation with RELLA and a check of the penny jar showed the new rev. hub was put in use in 1993.

The few that I have were found in change and rolls. By "few", I don't mean few 1999, I mean a few 2000 and 1998. The 1999 I own I bought from someone and had it slabbed as MS65.

Rampage

That I know of, there are at least two 1992-D with the close AM. I think both of them were slabbed by the same person, but I may be wrong. The 1992-D is going to be a much tougher coin to locate than the 1999.

joeyuk

I'm not looking for the 92-D. Just the 1999.

RELLA

I think you're a bit late tracking this one down; I went to try to find an upgrade over half a year ago and couldn't even find another 66 let alone one of the 67s.

I will keep in mind that you are looking; although I would probably keep the first two 67s that I could get my hands on.

RELLA

P.S. Not looking for the 92-D Close AM? Do you have one?

Happy Easter

joeyuk,

Despite Lange's assertions, the real cutoff date is 1992/1993. Maybe he is referring to a different redesign issue. I checked my most rock-solid reliable source...my change jar. 100% of my 1992, 1992-D and earlier were WIDE AM and 100% of my 1993, 1993-D and later were CLOSE AM. Someone tell if I'm wrong and I'll be right on my way to go attack that Coinstar machine with a crowbar.

If the changeover was 95/96 that would really make those 1992-D CLOSE AM specimens strange.

RELLA

I did the same thing, went to the penny jar for confirmation and found the same thing.
