  Those are difficult to come by over 64, I don't know why, but this coin comes with a lot of chatter on the Obverse.

  I agree.
  These are tough to find in full RD and this one is a real nice RB.
  I got lucky back in the 80's and was able to snag
  one in an old rattler. Well after about 30 years it is still full red.

  I found multiples of Dies 2, 3, and 8 while hunting for #1 back in '72. I still have a few of those.

  Nice. What's next, the 1955/1955 cent? Would make a nice pair. A double/double.

  That is my plan. I am using a Dansco 7070 album as a road map to put my type set together, just in graded form so I can't pop them into the album. Right now I have 3 of the 4 Lincoln Head types.

  1. 1909-S VDB for my type 1 - Lincoln Head 1909 VDB. Have this one.
  2. 1943-S Steel for my type 2 - Lincoln Head 1943 Steel. Have this one.
  3. 1955 Double Die for my type 3 - 1909-58 Bronze Lincoln Wheat Heads. Need this one.
  4. 1972 Double Die Obverse type 4 - 1959-Date Memorial. Have this one.

  Thanks again for all the kind words on my pickup.

  Very nice edition. This is one that I don't see discussed too often. After seeing yours that is kind of surprising to me.
