Now guy's, these coins I know, are not any earth shakers by any stretch of the imagination. These 5 Lincolns are MY opinion on the lost beauty one can very easily pass by. These 5 caught my eye for being attractive in an uncommon way! I took these in while roll searching. What do you guy's think? My photo's don't do any justice, sorry. Thanks :)










This last coin, 1991, not only has an appearance of beauty from afar but check out the closer shots!

    The 2000 D cent obverse has some serious circular scrape marks from the crimping device on a coin roller,

    Yes, but to me it's still a beauty! ;) After all, we all have a "mark" or scar, but still admired. <3

    This coin is a perfect example of damage from a crimping devise so it's worth saving as an example for educational purposes.

    Very good coin pictures, particularly the magnified images....Coins are fascinating to collectors, even some of the parking lot finds.... ;) Cheers, RickO
