1941-D Toned Roll

rmpsrpms · October 25, 2015 10:25AM

I picked up a toned BU Roll of 1941-D Cents a while back and just got around to looking at it. Turns out the entire roll is beautifully toned. There is a range of color and level of toning through the roll. The roll was tubed when I bought it, and it appears that two coins were replaced as they don't match the rest for toning. At least one of the roll end coins is still here, and it is nearly solid black on one side. Opinions welcome! I may take the time to image all 48 of the toned coins.

Nice one!

Beautiful!

lkeigwin · October 25, 2015 10:56AM

I like that one very much!

lordmarcovan · October 25, 2015 10:56AM

Awesome.

I lucked into a similar mixed date roll a while back, with several nice 1942 and 1944 toners. The 1942 coins were kinda-sorta like that.

Wow

That is one gorgeous 41-D

Is that a die break or a fiber between E T obverse

Flatwoods · October 25, 2015 11:01AM

Great looking coin and pic!

SamByrd · October 25, 2015 11:04AM

simply outstanding.

very attractive example and would be one heck of a type set coin.

coppertoning · October 25, 2015 12:02PM

Absolutely stunning

I love it. Please post some others

abcde12345 · October 25, 2015 12:04PM

Super. Much nicer than a bunch of 1953 cents we looked at a few days ago.

That's actually a small die scratch or gouge.

I'm really curious what I will find in this roll. I literally just picked up the first coin (after the roll end coin) and photographed it...

lasvegasteddy · October 25, 2015 12:21PM

wow

that quite an example from a roll

the rolls i've looked at had "chewed up and flogged by others" looks on just about all of them

i take it you're sending this in?

if so please update us

beautiful and huge congrats

Wow, that is so amazing. A toned roll of copper Lincolns. Congrats. Let's see some more of them coppers!!

hchcoin · October 25, 2015 2:17PM

That first coin is clean. Very nice.

MidLifeCrisis · October 25, 2015 2:37PM

Sweet!

Coppercolor · October 25, 2015 9:37PM

Beautiful! Please post some more to show the range of toning including the end pieces if you have time to image (excellent image btw).

If you have one that's particularly dramatic looking prepare yourself for an offer!

I have owned a couple rolls which were entirely toned. The first was a 40S roll I found in the late 80's. Every coin two sided target toning more or less like this. Several others since then. The coins in most of these rolls to my recollection felt tacky on the rims. I felt attic heat was involved in the toning process on all of them but was never able to verify or figure out what the tackiness was from.

MonsterCoinz · October 25, 2015 10:58PM

You have yourself a 66RB. Let's see those end toners!

Christos · October 25, 2015 11:15PM

Those are some beautiful coins and what a nice find. I am glad to see you posting some images again keep it up. That first coin looks as good if not better than this coin. Yours is more eye appealing to me.

This is a 67+ red

This is a 67 red brown

Edited to add: Seems I've found a forum bug. The text and images above are posted correctly, but for some reason when I reply by Quote it messes up the carriage returns. Who do I report this to?

golden · October 26, 2015 7:09AM

WOW!!

SoCalBigMark · October 26, 2015 7:49AM

My brain keeps seeing 14 D.

coinbuf · October 26, 2015 9:47AM

While I'm not a fan of this type of toning, if I were you I would send these in ASAP and cash in on the high demand for this type of material while that demand is still high.

Editted to add: From the pics you posted most seem to be solid 65RB to possible 66RB; I do not see enough luster in most of the pics to go higher.

rmpsrpms · October 26, 2015 12:18PM

4 more:

rmpsrpms · October 28, 2015 12:00AM

I've uploaded more images (total now of 25 coins) to my website. You can view them at:

1941-D Toned Roll

(http://www.macrocoins.com/1941-d-toned-roll.html)

A few more coins to image and then I'll decide what I will keep and what I will sell...

Looks like I found another bug in the forum software. Two so far just in this thread. Both relate to the software ignoring Carriage Returns in replies. Hope someone is looking as I don't know where to report these bugs...

rmpsrpms · October 28, 2015 3:55PM

I've uploaded the last of the coins with good surfaces. There are now a total of 35 coins imaged from the roll.

unclebob · October 28, 2015 10:21PM

So nice... are they headed to BST? I want dibs on two please

Type2 · October 29, 2015 4:18AM

Very nice are you going to grade any of them?

crazyhounddog · October 29, 2015 4:41AM

Looks like quite the score!! Very nice looking Lincoln you have there

mdwoods · October 29, 2015 4:45AM

Not only very attractive but really clean too.

No, that's not my thing. Plus, they're going like hotcakes, so the new owners can send them in.

JazzmanJAB · October 29, 2015 8:15AM

Those are Very Nice.

rmpsrpms · December 27, 2015 10:25AM

I took some images of one of the 41-D coins I kept with a new lens and lighting system. In one image, I took the shot straight-on with fairly direct but no-reflective lighting. The other, I inclined the coin 5-deg using a goniometer, and the camera 5-deg using a tilt adapter. Here is an animation going from the straight-on shot to the tilted shot and back. The straight-on shot is less diffuse than my original shots, which had a lot of diffusion. The tilted shot it "pseudo-axial", ie the lights shine directly off the coin surface and toward the lens.

Comments welcome!

LotsoLuck · December 27, 2015 10:46AM

"Comments welcome!"

That is just superb!

Super cool GIF. I'm secretly hoping one day PCGS will offer this as a LIVE TrueView.

Coppercolor · December 28, 2015 5:25AM

Just wonderful!

mannie gray · December 28, 2015 3:39PM

Beautiful coins-I love that look!

First.....my new revolving tree......now this. I know, don't stare at either too long or the walls start moving.

But nice find!

Wow - nice find

oih82w8 · December 28, 2015 10:19PM

Very attractive 41-D's!

PM sent.

Swampboy · December 29, 2015 1:12AM

Your Lincoln cent imaging is second to none.

Party on!

rmpsrpms · April 7, 2016 1:58PM

Folks have sent in quite a few of these 41-D toned Cents for grading and have been getting high MS grades. Grades so far are 66RB, 66+RB, and 67RB with several of each grade represented. I have updated my website to show the grades for the ones I've been told about. If you purchased one of these coins from me and have an assigned grade, please reply to this email or PM me and I will upload the grade. Will be good to have a bunch of these with assigned grades to compare.

MonsterCoinz · April 7, 2016 11:18PM

Sounds like I'm the lucky one of the group.

PCGS Quest Color (at least this time around). I had 01-02.

robec · April 7, 2016 11:40PM

MS66RB - Mine was 35-36

asheland · April 8, 2016 12:52AM

You say these were tubed...would that be as in the round hard plastic tube with the polyethylene screw cap? or hard cap? or?
