OK guys, fess up. Which one of you bought the Legend 1909 VDB in 67+RB yesterday? I was in my car and couldn't stop for a while ... and it was gone by then.

I didn’t realize the owner was selling it apart from the group of 50+. Not that it makes a difference on my measly budget.

Oh. Umm, @Ronyahski maybe @robec is confusing this Mint State coin with the hoard of 1909 VDB matte proofs that so much has been written about?

Ah, George just put 67+RB. I assumed he was talking about the PR67+RB VDB. My apologies.
I've got your twin to your 1917. I just got my results in from Reconsideration. Trying to get to 65 from 64.........no go, still 64RB.
Mine is a 65 and i was thinking of sending it in for a reconsideration as well. You'res looks like a 65 IMO. I also would like to send my 26s in again. Im 0-1 with that for an upgrade

That is a wild 1926-S, but the condition is certainly as good if not better than 65's I've seen.
This thread was started in mid April and has legs. The photos of the toned Lincoln cents, including the "Glamour Shots" True View photos are fantastic.
Someone with the requisite skill set (calling Winged Liberty) could assemble a collage of the True View photos and make it available as wall paper, a screen saver, artwork hanging in an Art Gallery, a designer cell phone case and even a high gloss paint job on a classic US automobile (i.e. a 1961 Cadillac El Dorado).
Once could even create a Toned Lincoln coffee table book that numismatists could proudly display on the coffee table in the living room of their home [assuming of course the wife agrees, or the proud numismatist is single or widowed ].

Way to hit the ground runnng, JGD! Those are some gorgeous Lincolns for your first few posts!
I got them from a dealer at the Round Rock show. I bought all of the sets he had that had nice toners in them. ...the sad thing is he said he "sold the dickens out of them" at the last show he went to. Would that I would have been able to buy those also. Oh well, I'm happy with what I was able to get.

Here's a pic of the nicer 53-D pre-submission. All I have is a camera phone...

What is that holder a lucite holder, which is what it looks like that 53-D is in? Wondering how they were stored. They don't have mint set toning. Some look like album toning but I've never seen those amazing green colors on those dates.
Excellent find, congrats!
Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.
They were in clear plastic holders. I’m not sure how many the dealer started with but he had about seven or eight left. He made it out as though he started with quite a lot. I bought the sets just to get the toners as he wasn’t putting a premium on the toned coins. Nor did he care at all for them. I have one of the sets still intacked. I bought it for one of the franklins. After getting it home I decided it didn’t have enough color to merit slabbing. I thought it’d only go 64FBL... a pretty coin, just not worth sending in. Here’s a pic of the remaining set.
Btw, this will be the last I post concerning these coins on this thread. I don’t want to “hijack” the thread.

yKnot has what has to be the prettiest 1909-S VDB BN in existence.
Thanks @Robec! That was one of the first toned Lincolns I purchased for my collection. I crossed it from its original NGC holder to PCGS while attending my first big coin show. I submitted it under the walkthrough service (only time I've done that) with the help of Brian Wagner. Here's another toned Lincoln (09-S/Horizontal S) that we submitted at the same show but as a standard submission and it got bumped from a 65 NGC holder to a 66 PCGS. Needless to say, I've been hooked ever since!

I now have Bob's 1915 MPL........ it now resides next to this 1914 MPL....
They look really great together.
OINK
The toning on this MPL is unreal........
For most of us on this thread toned copper is way more desireable, and rarer than RD copper.
OINK
Looks like a couple of headlights. Can't beat MPL colors.

Fabulous . Elegant.
I do have some others with great toning........
that graded on the other side of the scale(pr63RB) .

The graders don’t give enough respect to proof toners from the1936-42 era 64BN

I think it is one of the top 2-3 nicest 09-S VDBs in existence. Pop 1/0 67 RB. Not a very flattering picture, it is much nicer in hand.

@robec well, you know more than I do ... PM me if you can share more, and thank you!

Me too. I'd be curious to know about this collection.
Oh. Umm, @Ronyahski maybe @robec is confusing this Mint State coin with the hoard of 1909 VDB matte proofs that so much has been written about?

I saw one on HA in 68RB.

This one's only graded 64BN but reminded me of a 1943 cent.

Right you are LincolnCentMan. Back to posting toners we go.
A 1951 PR66BNwith a POP of 4/0 is hard to find

Here's a recent addition (PCGS 65BN):
The feedback I left for the ebay seller was, "I feel sorry for the second highest bidder. Man, you missed out!!!"

Still waiting for them to grade mine.. Now cracked.

Amazing Lincoln Cents all. I had a really nice set I had to break up a couple years ago. Lost my shirt when I sold them, but had fun along the way.
