Just picked this up at Baltimore show today.

I had to. A stunner and much better than the picture.

Beautiful. Looks like the almost twin brother to my old MPL.

I now have Bob's 1915 MPL........ it now resides next to this 1914 MPL....

They look really great together.

OINK

Fabulous . Elegant.

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.

Kind regards,

George

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.

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

Kind regards,

George

Me too. I'd be curious to know about this collection.

I saw one on HA in 68RB.

This thread is amazing and it keeps on giving.

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 ].

And don't forget some COOL T-shirts .....

Ronyahski,

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...

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 love looking through this thread! The amount of images crashes my poor lowly iPad all the time but I keep coming back!
