A New Pretty Little Lincoln for my collection

Just added this colorful Lincoln to my personal collection - it's not a tough date or anything super special, rather, I think it's just simply very pretty, don't you?

    Always a pleasure viewing Lincolns in lesser grade than MS65 that do not have carbon.
    Pretty coin, for sure!

    Quite honestly, I think the 31-d is a tougher date in high grade than the 31-s, which was saved extensively.

    My favorite date and mint mark. The first "valuable" coin I found in my piggybank as a kid was a 1931-D Lincoln. It's nothing like this one, of course. Sweet! image

    Awesome! Nice coin.

    Not tough? Shoot...it's one of the toughest later wheaties of all.

    Yep, I like it. Has a nice strike too.

    Absolutely! This is borne out by the TPGs pop reports. I haven't looked at them lately but I remember a few years ago there were roughly 5x the amount of mint state 31s Lincolns than 31d.

    I've owned a lot of 31-d's that came "richly toned" and were some of the favorite coins in my collection at the time. I think that is a wonderful date.

    Drinking and coin buying often don't mix well, but you can usually bet on a pretty coin!

    Ahhh, but when BOTH sides are having a little wine, it seems to soften the negotiations and bring smiles to everyone! image

    Great look! Congratulations!

    Mine is raw,only an AU 50....I bet my '32-D (best coin in an original roll I bought years ago) would give yours a run for its money though. image
