  • I just found this 2 days ago, looks like a rare one but have no idea it's worth, up close the "w" in "we" is smaller, and there is no mint mark. Could anyone help with possible value?

  • Is it worth sending into PCGS? I am having a hard time with this one. I picked it up at a recent estate sale in a lot with a bunch of other Lincoln cents. It weighs in at 3.01g. Seems to have the right detail but just feels a bit too clean. It could have just been well cared for or cleaned. Even if cleaned it still could be worth the effort of sending in.

  • Anyone ever sold the glossy finish version? Found a couple for a lowball price on eBay worth experimenting with… apparently the ms67 with a shine is worth 100-150 bucks… the satin is Pennies on the dollar.

    Carl J. Unger (1942–2020) grew up on the streets of Chicago collecting baseball cards and later, Gem Morgan dollars and type coins. He says in the introduction to his "Abe's Coloring Book" Toned Lincoln, Wheat Cents PCGS Registry Set (which he retired in the #1 All-Time Finest position in 2019), that "I always had a sweet spot for Lincolns, especially the ones with color." Carl was an old-school gentleman whose principles I try to emulate. His word was as good as gold. We traded many coins—mostly me buying from him—and trusted each other completely. We both knew our word was as good as our checks and our coins, and never had a problem.

    When Carl retired his set, I was already seriously into assembling my own Toned Lincolns Wheat Cent Registry Sets, and I bought hand over fist as many of his pieces as I could. We will soon retire our two sets, ranked #4 and #8 All-Time Finest. Those sets still include many of Carl's gorgeously toned Lincoln cents. We thought we would feature them here, in memory of a true numismatist, family man, and a fine gentleman.

    These cents formerly in Carl's "Abe's Coloring Book" set are currently in the VDB Collection consignments at Great Collections auctions ending Sept. 1st, 8th, and 15th. (Or else they are in GC auctions following soon after.) While we have sold a few of his finest coins privately, it is noteworthy that now, even five years later, many of his coins have never been surpassed in quality or beauty.
