I found an interesting proof Lincoln cent on one of my hunts. Just thought I would share it with my favorite numismatic community. So what do ya think of this one?
The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

It looks like a PR63RB from what I can see.

There is something missing on this coin, can you see it??
Might have been polished off the die.
<< <i>Do you mean the missing lower relief on the bust?

Yes Grumpyed you see it also! The details in Lincoln coat , just obove the date are very weak. For a proof coin I thought it was strange. Good eye!!

New to me! I checked all of my books and can't find any mention of this weakness for this or any other date for proofs lincolns?
