  • why do the Proof Lincolns from 1970 get that circular toning?

    I'm kinda a '64 and before guy but dem's nice!
  • Not sure but you can see the others are starting to develope the same. Just the Lincoln's are farther along. I guess due to the copper content.

    The cents look pretty good, but the rest are a bit rough on the eyes.

    Be sure to check the cents and others for DDOs....

    I think there's 4 or more nice proof DDO cents, they list 3 of them and the other one would show on the motto U of trust.

    I just knew I didn't want to open this thread but I didn't know why!



    Now I do.

    You could set up a shooting range with those targets! image
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Those are hard to get nice pics of....try tilting them different angles, in the light, and I bet the quarter/dime/nickel and maybe the half look pretty cool as well.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    In tribute to my TT evening, crack them out-get them graded by NGC and see how many auctions they can appear in for TT...Nice coins by the way.

    Chance favors the prepared mind.

  • The coins are going to Bob Campbell early next week for proper images. These were just some quick shots. I am thinking of dipping the kennedies as I don't see any color on them, the rest I think I might leave alone.

    I am probably going to send some of these in to be graded.
