    Great pics, Bob.

    The 67 on the top row show their normal tone.
    The bottom row is a different 1967 cent showing a bright yellow tone covering 99% of the coin.
    Paint ?
    I don't think it is, as I have another with a later date.


  • This is an amazing thread!

    Newly graded. PF68.

    In hand this coin's toning is a fiery, darker orange color. It also has a Cameo appearance with heavily frosted devices and mirrored fields.


  • On its way back to me now. Check out that grade 🔥 exceeds the next finest BN example by 4 points and is 1/1.

    Heck, I thought that was a proof. I didn’t look close enough. I’ve seen proofs with that same look and just assumed that’s what it was. That had to be one of the only 69BN Lincoln’s.

    I too am surprised they didn’t designate it something like a MS67BN PL lol. Hey I’ll take a MS69BN any day hahaha. If you look at CoinFacts for 1969-S they made it the default pic lol.

    It will be there for a long while. That’s the way CoinFacts works. They usually put the highest graded in the top position. If two or three are tied for the highest they will put the newest graded first. If another gets graded it will take the first position. But being a 69BN will keep it in first position forever. I don’t see another one coming along any time soon.

    I am truly shocked at this grade. I really didn’t expect this 😂

    I think that’s a mechanical error. I obviously haven’t seen the coin in hand but that looks like a proof to me. I don’t see them grading a mint state coin 69BN.

    I admit I didn’t even think of the mechanical error aspect. I’ve seen numerous proofs with this look. In hand it should be even easier to tell the difference between high grade proofs an MS Lincoln’s. The shine, gloss and luster is completely different, not to mention strike differences. The rims will also show a huge difference with the proof’s being sharp and square and MS being beveled or rounded.
