It takes a lot for a proof Lincoln to get me excited!

But this one does! Usually the 70-72 proofs always have chatter in the fields above the date or on the reverse. This one has none and no hairlines!!

It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    I actually like small cents. Did it get PR69? That is a $7,500.00 penny.

    Marty I like the coin what do you think it will grade? I don't see a 69 in that coin in fact it looks to me that it might not make 68, but not to worry I am usually wrong.

    I have a hunch it looks a lot better by now.

    There's a way to get that haze of Lincolns, too? If it's not a trade secret, I'd love to learn how to do it.

    Apparently goo-gone will remove the haze. I have not however tried it on a proof.

    Hmm, I cannot be excited by a 1971-S proof cent. Sure, I have seen some in proof sets that have become spotty, but often I see nice DCAM ones. There are just so many 1971 proof sets.

    But how many 1971-S Lincolns are Spot free, hairline free, chatter free and Deep Cameo on both sides?

    Could you get excited about the several thousand dollars it'll bring if it grades PR69DCAM? Even at 68DCAM it's a $450 to $500 coin.



    << <i>Sure, I have seen some in proof sets that have become spotty, but often I see nice DCAM ones. >>



    I'll give you triple Greysheet for every single 1971 proof set you find with a nice two-sided DCAM Lincoln. No limit.

    Hmm, that is a good buy price! Triple greysheet. You are excited by these Lincoln cents. Still, I have never seen modern proofs in the greysheet.

    I am curious how these proofs grade. I would need 500 to 1000 "unsearched" 1971 proof sets. Then I could grade each to find the distribution of the grades. Has anyone tried this?

    triple greysheet for every 1971 proof set with dcam in it?
    So, 1971 greysheet bid is ~$7 or so?
    Pay would be ~$21? image


    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

  • keetskeets Posts: 25,351 ✭✭✭✭✭
    hey Bochiman

    exactly the point of my above post. that's an offer that's too generous to pass up isn't it??

    Sounds like something that is better sold than owned. Kind of the opposite of a collectible.
