I'll put the favorite of the board into my showcase registry

Lincoln 1:

Lincoln 3:

The first one and last one I felt had a shot at 67+RB or 68RB. Monster surfaces. But I don't mean to influence, I'm asking about eye appeal.

Edited to Add: Sorry about the amateur poll, I don't know how to set one up!
I'd like my copper well done please!

    I'm not wild about #2. Tough call between 1 and 3, but I think I'd pick #3.
  • #1 for me. I like the reverse more than #3.

    #2 has some distractions.

    That leaves a very nice #1 and #3 with the nod going to #3

    So I agree with CoinJunkie. image

    #1 made me say "wow" to myself. It doesn't have a full strike but it's good enough, and no major distractions. #3 is also very beautiful, and has a better strike, but more distractions. So I vote #1

    little distractions grab my eyes on the other 2

    I clicked on 3, but it didn't take my vote
  • WildIdeaWildIdea Posts: 1,877 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I like them all for sure.

    #1 does it for me though. Real even toning on both sides well matched.

    #2 very vibrant but the color transitions a little harsh. Not a problem if it wasn't in this group and viewed in its own company.

    #3 seems the same as coin #1 but has the minor hit in left upper field, so the first coin is superior in that minuscule way,

    Just my taste, all super cool man.

    1 is best

    2 a tad dull compered to 1

    3 don't like the cut left obv field.

    I vote #1, it has great eye appeal. It doesn't have a full strike but it's good enough, and no major distractions. #3 is also very attractive, and has a better strike, but more distractions.

    #1 fresh , balanced color no distractions (my choice)
    #3 also nice color, but mark in field and possibly on Lincoln hair.
    #2 color is not as balanced, and spots and distractions

  • No 2. No 3 is close. The reverse on No 2 takes the cake.

    Crumb. No consensus at all. At least I'm not the only one.

    #1 - They all are pretty, but 2 and 3 each have small ticks. Number 1 has none.image
  • ElmerFusterpuckElmerFusterpuck Posts: 4,768 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Ahhhhh, so you are the one making more! I submit mine, which was the first 67-RB for the 1955-S, all in good fun of course. None of your 3 below are slouches, but I lean towards #1.

    I'm not a fan of a mushy O in ONE.

    For that reason, I chose #3.

    I will be the usual exception.... prefer the red,as minted condition... these all miss that level. Cheers, RickO

    Well, Erik, you must remember I tried to buy your 55S about five or six years ago, unsuccessfully. So I've been on a tear. Remember the fire red one I had graded 67RB about four years ago? Then this group (plus three more) came my way. BTW the others graded 65RD and 66RB.

    For the record I still like yours the best because I like crazy color. Have you changed your mind about selling/trading???????????????????????????? image

    I'd like my copper well done please!

    Hard to tell, I will go with number 1.

    I like # 3
  • SanctionIISanctionII Posts: 12,499 ✭✭✭✭✭
    #1 and #3 are evenly matched.

    If #3 did not have he mark in the upper left obverse field it would be the winner over #1 because is has a better strike. In hand I expect that the mark on #3 is not as noticeable as the weak reverse strike on #1. If so, then #3 is the winner.
  • DennisHDennisH Posts: 14,009 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Coin #1.
    When in doubt, don't.
