Couple more raw NEWPs to share - buffalo and lincoln

First of all, I have no idea why the photos and text are spaced like they are.

First is a 1915 buffalo 5c I got from "BUFFNIX" Tom, this thing has tons of luster and has nice gunmetal toning, along with some yellow/green and rose on the obverse by "LIBERTY".

I am also starting a "date set" for 1917 P. I have posted the quarters before. Here is the "easy" one. 1917 buffalo is on the way. Still outstanding are the 10c and 50c.

MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    Nice coins. I always liked the 1917 Lincoln the best as his beard

    usually comes nice and thick.

    Fingers crossed your penny isn't cleaned and re-toned.

    That's a very nice, clean Buff. Nice one!!
    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    Still can't get those images over to the left lol. Very nice looking coins and the cent looks off but I think that is just the image being overexposed.

    a couple sweet examples here

    the buffalo sure is a clean looking one...hopefully it's got that luster that carries it above 64



    a true jewel there of a 17' lincoln

    got to love the fine hair and beard detail....very impressive

    The luster on the buff is jaw dropping. I have a run of the mill raw 38-d 65/66 to compare it to and the 15 blows it out of the water.

    I think I overexposed by a long shot.

    The linc also has some nice red tone in the RH obv field, very cool coin, tough to photograph toned copper.
