IT is an NGC 65RB

braddick · March 16, 2010 8:44AM

Yes! And, if you stole it for $33. on eBay, then double YES!

telephoto1 · March 16, 2010 8:48AM

Nice color. Thumbs up from me.

commoncents05 · March 16, 2010 8:52AM

Nice? Yes.
Monster? No.

For some reason the 1941-D is also far and away the leader in MS67-RB's. There are fewer than 60 total, for all wheaties. But the 1941-D has 24.

There's probably a correlation with color for this issue.

Nice one, Lloyd! Here's one of those 67RB's but not nearly as colorful as yours!

That's a great coin. Not sure if I've completely defined my definition of monster but would have been one I would have added to my collection.

Is this a MONSTER toned Lincoln??? NO

bestclser1 · March 16, 2010 11:26AM

I ask caus i dont really do LincolnsThanks.

magikbilly · March 16, 2010 11:28AM

Best wishes,

It's not a moose but it is very desirable...

kryptonitecomics · March 16, 2010 11:40AM

Let's put it this way.....those that think it's not a monster colorwise (not gradewise) for the date and mint....please post your 1941-D with nicer toning because frankly I haven't seen one. Sure it's not a rare coin in the grade but that green color is so tough to find on the early 40's Lincolns. I would say it would sell for many multiples of guide if it went up on Ebay....how much is anyones guess but I would probably be an underbidder...

Coppercolor · March 16, 2010 11:51AM

Shane's right. Monster designation tracks with the date/mm.

Sunnywood and others showed this in their Morgan collections. In other words, good luck finding a 1921 Morgan that has the same color and luster as an 81S or 86/87. In lincoln collecting, 1956 and 1957 are the big color years followed by 1947-1954, 58', 1941D, then 1909, then 1938, 1910, 1911, 35S, etc.

I suspect the greens and purples are better than shown by this photo!

Jeff,

So I have a question. Are the years outlined by you based on MS years or Proof years, or is there no differentiation between the two? I may be ignorant, but I'm still curious.

renomedphys · March 16, 2010 1:09PM

Is this?

Marauderrt10 · March 16, 2010 1:15PM

LLoyd i have a nice 41-P to match that

Justacommeman · March 16, 2010 1:16PM

Lincoln dropping acid.............been there

I swear when I first saw that coin Indagadadavita by Iron Butterfly entered my brain.

Sorry, most people don't collect Lincoln toners by date...

LeeG · March 16, 2010 6:47PM

A nice example Lloyd!

Shoulda kept this one:

soty27 · March 16, 2010 11:06PM

I would say not even close to a monster, not for the date, series, or mint mark

bestclser1 · March 17, 2010 12:06AM

I guess i am not a Lincoln guy Lee.Best,Lloyd

66RB · March 17, 2010 12:10AM

The color on the obverse is very attractive. If the reverse had also looked like this, I would say it might qualify for Monster status.

soty27 · March 17, 2010 12:13AM

Lloyd, I know you have some monster indians

Tortuga · March 17, 2010 12:20AM

Nice coin Lloyd.

<< Sorry, most people don't collect Lincoln toners by date... >>

That's like saying "most people don't collect troll dolls by the color of their hair." Oh wait, I did. Well, then that's like saying "most people don't collect souvenir spoons by each U.S. State." Oh, wait, I did. So I guess collecting toned Lincolns by date (and toned Indian cents for that matter) will continue keeping me out of the "most people" club.

By the way Lloyd, that is one gorgeously toned Lincoln cent, and I certainly wouldn't kick it out of my collection!

pharmer · March 17, 2010 12:38AM

Yes, Matt. Yes it is. Top pop too. Great taste you have.

Just one that you didnt think would be an NGC MS66RD CAC.

<< Jeff,

Hey Erickso1,
I was giving MS dates, I could sit and be more thorough but I just banged of those dates from the top of my head. There are others with more frequent color and it could be related to slight alloy changes, planchet handling or preparation or a tendency for them to be put in specific environment. For example, my impression is that an aweful lot of 1909's ended up in tissue and in albums because they were a special date.

Even then, the environment seems to have to be just right for a coin to pick up good color instead of brown, and so a small percentage toned beautifully. Plus I've always suspected that a very light buffing with a horse hair brush or somethingg of that nature was common, and that treatment pre-album preps the surfaces just right to pick up color. That after seeing many many many ring or peripherally toned lincolns from albums that have an ever so slight peachy center, and seeing many people try to submit those coins and NGC/PCGS bagging them for cleaning. But some get through, just like silver, those with market acceptable surfaces.

On the other hand the tissue paper coins seemed to pick up greens and purples, and the ones put in envelopes tended to either pick up granular browns but with aqua/purple highlightsbut could be blue/red at angles. And I'm not talking about the icky bright purple that comes with treatment (Ammonia/ms70).

Those are my current opinions, but they seem to change monthly.

Nope I still dont think that coin should have gotten a Red but then again that my opinion based off of an image. I am sure I am not the only one either. I also have seen a handfull of red coins in NGC holders with cac stickers that were not red. I still dont think the coins a red based on the image or the cac sticker, Red is a very tough color to get to show in images especially pure red coins.

airplanenut · March 17, 2010 5:34AM

I'd want to see it in hand. The more I look at the photo, the more I think something isn't right about how the color looks to me on my screen with regards to how it would look in hand.

bestclser1 · March 17, 2010 6:37AM

It looks much nicer in hand,but you guys are the experts,not me.I am just a old country boy who doesnt know much about color.

Some Lincolns turn wild colors.
The flip side of this 55 end roll toner is solid red

Chris' photography is fantastic, so fantastic in fact that I am now SECOND GUESSING selling that coin two weeks ago.

But it's a terrific example of the importance of examining coins in hand for personal preference.

In hand, I felt the green is very very dark, the coin almost dissapears in darkness, and so it didn't match the rest of my green lincolns. But boy does it look good now!
