I've posted this one before, but these are better pictures. As far as I know, it's still a pop 1 in this grade.

Do you believe it's from a double mint set?

It would be interesting to know where this one came from, but it definitely gets attention. Plus I don't have to worry about any guarantee on its 'redness' since its an RB grade.
Too bad it's not an 11-S!

It's hard to get good pix. I wish the Mint had done something about the overused dies.

I remember watching that coin in a Teletrade auction four or five years ago. I remember regretting not pulling the trigger and if I remember correctly you got it for a tremendous price.
With envy,

In a strange turn of events, after frothing at the mouth at your 55-S, I just made the second 67RB. Mine is a molten lava colored. Wanna trade?

Just my personal opinion. I am curious as to what others may think on this subject. BUFFNIXX

<< <i>I find this a very interesting thread, because I am baffled as to why people get so excited about these high grade common Lincoln Cents from 1909 to 1958. I just reviewed the pcgs price guides for this series and I see that if one can get a grade of ms68 red for a 1955-s Lincoln then you have a ten thousand dollar coin!! Wow!!! I think it is great if you can get one of these high grade monsters for next to nothing raw and then slab it for your collection but a mistake if you pay anywhere near the high prices for these ms67 and above coins.

That's a pretty general statement for a very complex collection set.
1909 - 1958 comprises more than 140 coins. Later date MS67RD's are not necessarily expensive but there are numerous conditional rarities that do sell for many $thousands (some late 40's and 50's Phillies, e.g.). Some folks with money and competitive blood do actually buy the very few that exist. MS68's just don't exist for the most part, hence the outrageous, loony values.
Earlier series Lincolns are all over the map from the perspective of price, quality, rarity. There is a huge demand for early Lincolns. Probably the most collected of all US coins. Nice registry sets can easily run into 6 digits and top ones, 7 digits.
Collectors have their own likes and dislikes, of course. But if you are a Lincoln guy very high grade wheaties are exciting and anything but common.

I'm not positive it's relevent but I just noticed that Morgan's which are probably the other most collected series had surprisingly high pop numbers in top grades. There are about comparable numbers of MS67 Morgans as there are MS67RD lincolns (7-10 Thousand each), and more than 300 MS68 morgans vs. 60 MS68RD lincolns, series wide.
I'd always thought this high tier morgans were more rare.

<< <i>That 55 S would look great next to my 11.
Great 1911 Grip! And undergraded if not underappreciated as a 64RB.
And your 1911 would look great next to mine which is now in a PCGS 66BN holder.
<< <i>Well done
Yes Grip first time.
