As much as I like clear and non distracting fields, I do like the 66rb for its better color, but the 67bn has the perfect surfaces.. Decisions decision haha
In the Lincoln Cents toned Basic Set, why are sets ranked 9 and 10 both specifically named colorless, yet allowed to be in the toned category, one even winning 2015 and 2016. What am I missing?

Before there was a toned Registry it was called a Colorless Registry. It was a little misleading as it meant rankings were rated by grade only not as the normal copper registries where Red was given bonus points. They later changed it to a toned Registry where bonus points were given to BN.
My first toned Lincoln’s, formerly part of robec’s hoard! I’m so excited to finally have something to contribute and to start a registry set with! They’re also my first coins with TrueViews.

Congratulations @Sirius Black welcome to the adventure and a very addictive and pleasant pastime! Great coins for your first posts too!
@giorgio11 Thanks very much! I’m trying to go slow and steady so I can learn and make informed purchases. It’s hard when you have no patience! Thankfully my wallet dictates slow and steady!

I fully understand that comment, I'm buying and hopefully not get the notification that I ran out of money haha
I dont think I ever posted the coin that started my set. I bought it just because it was a blueberry, took almost a year until I realized I wanted to complete a set. I believe this came from MonsterCoinz, so shout out to you buddy. MS66RB.

Cool coin. I think your coin was in a cardboard display where the back of the coin was stuck/glued on the reverse. Looks like residue was removed with acetone or something similar, leaving some of that reddish tone on the reverse, and explaining the contrast in toning from obverse to reverse.
Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.

Not your typical 1917. Thinking about sending this in for a reconsideration. I sent it in for a reslab and trueview when it was in a much older pcgs slab. Thinking it can get a 64 maybe even a 65 today.
Currently graded MS63 BN

Which one to keep........
PR66RB (pop13/3)
or PR67BN (pop3/0)
OINK
@OldIndianNutKase Door #2. It has the lower pop, plus Door #1 has that small straight scrape through M and S. Both have great eye appeal though!
Edit: Ahhh, on closer inspection it looks like just a toning line.
Kind regards,
George
Don't you love the 1932 dates, where the 3 looks like it leans forward and the 2 looks to be leaning backward? Great coin @Ronyahski !
Kind regards,
George
I would keep the 67BN. Much smoother and cleaner............and I love high grade BN.

Some amazing coins. I don't like the truviews now. Not sure if too much contrast or what, coins aren't detailed.
I could see that being highly likely.

Whats everyones opinion on this 1917 DDO?
A few closer shots
Not too toned,but a pretty mean rarity. Fs101 DDO
Edit : PCGS 67RB 2/0. None in BN.
Been looking for one of those for many years in circulation, no luck so far.
Very solid coin at 58, nice rarity !!
