Also recently got this one:
I know it doesn't appear to be toned very much in the true view, but it has definitely toned further since it's encapsulation and now has a pleasing pink toning.
Regarding the 1958-D Lincoln cent above: Current PCGS population is 16 in 65BN, 4 finer. Despite the prevalence of many 1958 mint sets with some beautifully toned silver (Franklin halves from this year seem especially nice, both P- and D-mints, and some of the Washies are pretty sparkly too), it seems that the 1958-P and -D Lincolns with attractive toning sufficient to be certified Brown (now there's an irony for you) in high Mint State grades are hard to come by. Yet Red and Brown and Red cents survive in abundance up to MS66 and even MS67.
Here's the current PCGS Pop Report. This is just an interesting anomaly; I'm sure part of it is explained by more people submitting untoned coins until recently ... but is that the only reason? I wonder if maybe the sulfur/other chemicals present in the mint set packaging for this year was more reactive to the silver coins than the copper ones?
My latest purchase for my set, PR67BN. Pop of 19 with only 1 higher. I'm going to start upgrading dates to higher BN grades. I already bought a PR67BN 1964, but it doesn't have TrueView, so I'm sending it to PCGS to get reholdered
I've been focusing a lot on my toned proof Lincolns for a while now, so I thought that I'd work some more on my circulation strike set. I bought this one yesterday, MS64BN. Nice greenie for the set, looks like a 65 to me. From the Phoenix Collection
I recently submitted some MS (1909 VDB, 1909 S, 1929, 1932, 1940 and 1941) Lincolns and some Proof and SMS Lincolns (1939, 1940, 1942 and 1950-1970) to our host for grading and True View.
True Views of some of these coins will be posted when available.
It will be fun to participate in this thread (this thread has major eye candy for copper fans).

Wow, I am really impressed with the toned Lincolns, and I thought I had some good ones
Kind regards
1941-S MS64BN
1936 MS64BN
1950-S MS64RB Not much to my taste with the near-terminal reverse toning, but it was nonetheless a smidgen upgrade for our Registry Set.
See @ricko there is toning even I don't like!
Kind regards,
George
I couldn't resist posting this "PCGS toned Lincoln"...
My apologies.

Beautiful! It's by far my favorite commemorative design

I know it only has a little toning on the reverse, but hey, for $11 bucks I snatched it!

I cracked this out of a PCI holder and it went 65BN last year. I just saw it in a 66BN holder.

Hey @Goldbully, just curious, about how much did that set you back? Oh, and what's it's grade?
It's a beauty!

Picked up a few more lately, mostly 65bn coins, still waiting on tvs for several.
I think we'll all be waiting on Trueviews for a long time.

I traded for this one recently, PR65BN. Top pop and PCGS plate coin

I'm very new to the registry thing, kinda clueless. This seems like as good a place to jump in as any.
Welcome. Classy move starting with a pre-1934 Lincoln.

"Like" is too milquetoast of a reaction to that coin, David. What a stunner!
