    I really like this one too, imo it has really nice color and luster. Very 'deep' look to the obverse

    While we're at it. I'm an EACer and don't have slabbed copper, but sometimes I wonder if I'm going to need to do it some day when I'm ready to move on. I know they cut some slack relative to dings on older coins. Think this would slab at PCGS or NGC?:

    Idhair, I liked that lucky penny token from the Pan-American Exposition in 1901. Unfortunately, President McKinley must not have been carrying one of those.

  • That 1955-s toner is Super. All the copper posted is top-shelfimage.

    Probably not. Still highly desirable, though.

    Don't worry about it. We've all made our share of mistakes in this hobby. Hopefully, it's a learning experience for you on your journey.

    Edited to add: Need to send this one to PCGS. They've always done right by me under their "Grade Guarantee".

    1st is a new image of an NGC 66*RB, 2nd is a new coin from Angel Dee's, PCGS MS66RD. The NGC coin has the 'sans-serif' mintmark, while the PCGS coin has the 'serif' style mintmark. According to Coppercoins, the 'sans-serif' is slightly less common, but not enough to affect value. Happy New Year Everyone!

    Michael that's a very nice 1916. Got my 1916 from DLRC a few months ago:

    Bill love the color on that one. Great year too.image Have you sent it in to be graded? Looks super clean and nice lustre too. could go 67 if PCGS ok's the color. The nick on the "O" on the Reverse and a little chatter on the portrait may hold it back though?
