    According to Coinfacts, the pop is 1/0. Nice jump in change, too! Way to hit one out of the park, brother.

    One of the few coins for me where the regret of selling has far outlasted the joy of ownership. Wonderful!

    And by the way... it only counts as an increase in value if you SELL IT!!! (To me, preferablyimage)

    Way to go Bob!!

    When we spoke about this coin a year ago I wrote, "I think it is a lovely coin and probably has the best strike I've seen for the date.". This coin now has the grade it deserves. Congrats.

    Thanks for the great response. I had been told by several fine people what a special coin this was. Receiving this grade is even more proof.

    Don, this submission may have paid for several years of memberships.image

    Congratulations.

    Fantastic MPL.

    Putting aside the RD, RB and BN color designations for the moment, does not the pictured coin represent the "ideal look" for a wheat back Lincoln Cent? What, if anything [other than a few possible tiny spots that appear on the picture of the coin (which may not exist in reality)] prevents this coin from being graded a 68 or a 69?

    Again, congrats on a magnificent MPL and the bump up in grade.
