    Me Too! Twice graded by PCGS as "damaged". I believe they might be looking at the carbon/problem on the left obverse rim but I'm not sure. It sure isn't obvious in hand but PCGS's consistency is very very impressive (even though it's not in my favor)

    <<< loves the 35-s...it's just so vibrant

    now that 16-d
    looks like a matte die had a mint mark added to it and a matte proof planchet was used
    could something like that of happened...most likely not

    but if that coin didn't have that mint mark...i bet it'd be sitting in a holder noting proof strike

    regardless that is an amazing 16-d there with super thick rims
    could they of reworked the die so the inner diameter would leave a thick rim...a simple put the die on a lathe and reduce that surface diameter

    interesting coin

    but yeah
    i love the vibrant 35-s best
    something about that silver toning area that transitions into amazing pure colorful rainbow band...it just glows
    thanks for sharing these beautys with us

    quite some lincoln treasure's you've stumbled upon of late here
    congrats
    everything in life is but merely on loan to us by our appreciation....lose your appreciation and see

    Nice colors on that group of Lincolns.

    I like the 16-D, "damaged" or not.

    My guess is maybe because of the thickness of the rims.

    That's a great looking group. I know how tough these are to find.

    I love them all!!

    Very nice Lincoln's. The 16-D damage might be the crumbling rim on the reverse. Superb coin though.
    I wonder if Verdi Care would help out the reverse of that 35-S.
