Raw or graded?

If graded what grade would you like?

If raw are you particular to Red, red/brown or ???????

I would probably be interested in a RAW coin. I thought this was suppose to be very rare and difficult to find?

There is only one known copy of a 1959-D with a wheat reverse, and no one is really certain if that copy is authentic or a counterfeit. It was sold in a Goldberg auction a couple of years ago to an error collector for something like $40,000-$50,000!!!!

If you can lay your hands on a copy of The Authoritative Reference On Lincoln Cents by John Wexler and Kevin Flynn, you will find a detailed discussion about the coin on pages 334-336.

Thank you, I will check it out, but it seems a little to steep for me right now.
