Wow! Who made the new ms67rd 73-d Lincoln Cent? And ms66 54-p nickels?!

Yes, that is certainly a low pop coin and would be a great addition for most sets. I would like to know
who the lucky owner is too. Congratulations.

Also some new ms67 73-p cents, and there's an ms68 now in the pop report. Can that be for real? I can't imagine an ms68 of that date existing.

Congratulations to the successful submittor of the top-pop Lincoln Cents. I think I'm losing my eyesight based on the modern
grades I've been receiving during the past year.

As for the MS-68 1973 1c, is it for real? Same question for MS-68RD 1971-S 1c. PCGS removed the five "MS-68RD" 1972-S 1c. The top
grade 72-S is now MS-67RD, thus the inquiry regarding 73 & 71-S.

I opened and went through a mint-sewn bag of 1963-D Lincolns and
sent in 1 coin. I quit looking with about 500-800 coins left.

The really neat Lincoln Cents will likely be found in the "right" rolls. Back in 2003 I slabbed six 1963-D 1c in MS-66RD from one roll. The
coins apparently had the desired look to PCGS.

Hats off to Lincolns Rule for his successful results as of late.

Okay, this thread clinches it, I really need to start busting open some Lincoln rolls. Nice results (and congrats on your results in the other thread, LR).

You can only get top end coins from that "one special roll". If it is not a roll of that quality, you could have 1,000 of them and still not find a top grade example. I got 2 ms67 72-d's and about 25 ms66's all from one roll! The best example is Angel Dees, he got 2 ms67rd 54-p's and also about 25 ms66's from one roll. I think he had to pay like $3000 for the roll but that certainly was well worth it!

Great job though on those 63-d's cupronik! I have yet to get one graded above ms64!
