When it comes to modern Lincolns this one blows my mind:

From the Irwin collection: PCGS MS68RD.

    I don't know exactly what it is about them, but I just love this design.

      Well, I don't have pics of some/any of the finest I've seen, but I do own a colorful one or two Moderns IMO

      Im with you on the bi-metallic coin, Thiggy. It's one of my favorites....but that Kennedy screams of beauty.... the one DHeath posted. Looks like a cross-over candidate.

      Thanks Don,

      You can't tell by the photo too much, but this one looks exactly like a proof in hand: (POP ONE too...)

      Don,
      When you mention your SMS NGC Kennedy crossed, what holder (at what grade) was it in before?
      That is, without a doubt, the finest SMS I've seen. Talk about looking like a PROOF.

      Pat, it crossed from NGC MS68 Ucam to PCGS MS68 Dcam. It was a coin I purchased raw.

      Nice to see (another) example of PCGS grading the COIN and not the holder. It's certainly worthy of the DCAM status in anyones holder.

      I simply can't imagine another coming along anything close to that one.

      "Finest," in my mind, doesn't necessarily mean "grade." Finest can also define rarity mixed with grade, importance, or otherwise something that makes a coin special. While the "finest" graded coins I have ever seen was a PR70 modern cent, it was a very highly unexciting coin compared to having my first ever opportunity to see a 1969S DDO and 1970S DDO together at the same time. The "finest," however, was an absolutely superb stunning toned AND prooflike 1972 DDO cent...unlike ANY example I had ever seen.
