A couple of early Lincolns that I like.

I like the 1916 because it has a very cool surface similar to a matte proof. I like the 1919-D because the mint really knew how to strike them that year. The reverses on both are unremarkable.

I've always loved the orange peel appearance seen on the surfaces of many of the early Lincolns. Add blazing luster and it's a visual feast!
1919 was indeed the good year. Not only did Denver do things right, but this is the year so many MS68's and even an MS69 was produced in Philadelphia. Super strike!

I like all coins. They're like women. It's all good, some is just better than others.
