reverse pics added : rainbow lincoln cents ; can't wait to submit these ! pcgs results for 1935-d

give me your opinion on these lincolns ?

some of you guys wanted to see reverse pics of these coins, what do you think about them now ? the dealer that sold me the coins had several more with the same look, just not as pretty, anyway he said they came out of the same album. when i first looked at them my first thought is that there is no way in hell they will grade but for $3 per coin i really like them ! i guess i will submit them for grading because some of you think they are original, i will submit the 49 and 50 with my next batch of coins. the 35d is at pcgs now.

if they do grade (you got'ta be kidding me ), i will purchase the rest of those toned lincolns from that dealer !!

1949

1950

this 35d came from the same dealer, it has been submitted to pcgs for grading , do you think it will grade?

LeeBone · January 17, 2012 9:59AM

Very nice. Hope they grade problem-free.

Very cool.

Very cool!!!
It'll be fun (and educational) to follow up with the outcome on this...
Nice find!

RedneckHB · January 18, 2012 1:31AM

Nice. PCGS will probably grade them 64BN and 65BN respectively.

Swampboy · January 18, 2012 2:22AM

Best of luck to you.
They'd make a nice addition to any Lincoln wheat registry, especially mine.

drwstr123 · January 18, 2012 2:34AM

Why am I the only one thinking, "91"????

GMan · January 18, 2012 3:51AM

Here's and end roll toner with nice color I found when doing some searching. This was the It's not a wheatie, but I still love the color.

Been collecting Lincolns for 40 years and have never seen that kind of toning before. Maybe some VERY special circumstance created it but all of these special circumstances produce unique looks that are un-reproducible. Since the two coins from adjacent years both look the same, I can only conclude they were AT'd using the same technique. With the peripheral rainbows around clean untoned copper I'd guess a cigar torch or something similar. Would love to be proved wrong and please do post the result. Would love to see reverses as well.

renomedphys · January 18, 2012 10:11AM

The '49 will grade 64RB or BN. The 50 will probably AT. If they go in together, expect perhaps both to AT due to suspicious circumstances.

Proved wrong? How would you proved wrong?

Actually, it's not too difficult to prove NT vs AT, at least for simple methods. You just need the proper surface analysis tools...

Liquid toning was my thought as well.

This type of toning is not my cup of tea, but sure looks like it could be old Whitman folder toning. If the reverses were covered in lines of toning, I would say it was this type of toning for sure.

WTCG · January 18, 2012 11:35AM

Both coins have a neat look and the toning could be natural, however the grading companies are always hesitant about grading copper coins with this type of color.

lusterlover · January 18, 2012 12:09PM

I say AT, but there's one way to find out....

WingedLiberty1957 · January 18, 2012 1:08PM

Here is one of my best rainbow Lincolns.
I know the reverse is sort of homely, but the obverse is one of the best I've seen.
This graded MS 66 RB ...

rmpsrpms · January 18, 2012 1:41PM

Now that's just a beautiful natural coin. It's amazing how those roll end coins can tone...

JRocco · January 18, 2012 2:04PM

Those 2 both look very AT to me.
Sorry

I think they will grade no prob.

I like em better after seeing the reverses. Hope they grade!

Coppercolor · May 2, 2012 9:48AM

Do we know what happened to these coins?

LeeBone · May 2, 2012 10:41AM

I wanna know too

lkeigwin · May 2, 2012 10:53AM

I don't think they will grade problem-free. And even if they did I don't think money spent on grading them is wise. They are not money coins.

hey guys , i forgot to post the grade for the 1935-d cent . it came back from pcgs in a 91 holder and i did not submit the 1949 or 1950 because i'm pretty sure they would have the same results as the 1935-d . the 1949 and 1950 recently sold on ebay for a very large sum of $3.91 each. i think i paid $3 for them but i still liked the colors !
