    I'm not seeing the color. Maybe take some close ups with more lighting?

    Love those 09 colors. A set of all the MS 09’s with those colors would be spectacular.

    I hope you mean the two Indian Head 1909’s as well, while we’re fantasizing about stuff.

    Those are fairly well known to Lincoln collectors. There are 4 or 5 that were part of an original group with 3 having monster toning. The first time I saw them for sale at Heritage I think they were in NGC slabs.

    It looks like end roll toning but I've never seen it on both sides, any idea how they toned?

  • oldabeintxoldabeintx Posts: 2,436 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I’ve seen similar toning on occasion on 09 Lincolns. Are any stickered or graded by CACG? Curious if JA is good with these colors. I certainly am, but then I collect “blue” IHC’s.

    I have no idea. I found one from a 2015 auction. There was a previous action sometime earlier where the group were in the same auction. As said earlier, all were in NGC slabs.

    It’s very possible these could have been tissue or paper wrapped.

    For future reference, you can do it this way:
    1) enter the cert number here: https://www.pcgs.com/cert/
    2) click "View All Images" under the photo
    3) click the download icon (middle icon among the 3 in the right corner)
    4) the image is in your downloads folder and can now be uploaded here using the image insert icon (you can also move it to another folder)
    ....you can also right click and pick "save image as" instead of step 3 (then pick the folder to save in)
    ...alternatively you can click copy image and then come here to the forum and paste it (no saving needed then)
    ....note that the process is a bit different on mobile

    I love the colors on early Lincolns. My set does have a lot of color variation up until about 1930. After that it settles into a solid run of all red. Mine are all raw and in an album, and the series of red pages is pretty impressive. But it doesn’t make you want to linger over each coin - it’s just red.

    The first two pages of the album, though, merit careful appreciation because each coin is unique, usually RB with hints of other color - red, blue, purple, and maybe a little green.

    This one is a bit different. It’s not AT, exactly. The coin looked varnished (a guess?) and I had it a few years before deciding to rinse it in acetone. I surmise that the varnish held impurities against the coin surface for many decades. When I removed the gunk, the thin film of reaction products was visible. I like it - it’s just a fun thing to have.

    I have seen similar on older capital plastic holders with white plastic insert - the part of coin closest to the air edge gets the lighter toning.
