  Nice color on the obv.
  
  If you read old coin magazines it's interesting to see that in the 60s these sold for prices in the hundreds.
  I guess it was because people hoarded them up.

  I agree, nice looking coin. I remember seeing rolls of them at coin shows in the late 60's but can't remember the price.

  I've always loved the 1960-P Small Date. It's what captured my imagination about coin collecting so long ago.

  Why would you pay to have that graded?

  Because I like it. The toning is actually more of a hot pink in hand. It is quite attractive. My expierence is that the 60 p SD in 65 or better bring decent money. With color even more.

  It is not an ms67 coin I agree. It is however decent for a 65rb.
  
  
  Edited to add....I call that a tick mark not a scratch.

  I purchased two 1960 Lincoln cent type sets a few months back from LordM. Man was I surprised when I saw the colors on some of these coins. They were housed in an old 1960s era cardboard holder with one for each type. There are a few other nice lincols like this in the set too.
  
  
  Thanks LordM for some fantastic coins!
