New Lincoln Cent for my Type Collection

image

Here's my latest addition. image

I grade it 63-RD. image

It serves as my example of Memorial Reverse, copper composition. image

Just thought I'd share!

    Is that all die polish in the fields?

    Yes, the fields are full of die polish lines. If I didn't know any better, I would think it had been cleaned, but I removed this from an Original Roll, and it looked like all its fellows. image

    Edited to clarify- there are also some bag marks on the coin

    Cool, Amanda!!

    I have found that nice 59's are not as
    plentiful as you might expect for being
    a first year issue.

    It should fit nicely into your type set!!

    Nice Lincoln Amanda.

    Die polish lines are neat.
