  • 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.

    1992 P & D Lincoln Cent ??? Close AM
    Due to a mix-up at the mint back in 1992, a proof die was used for the reverse of the coin before it was supposed to be used starting in 1993. The distance between the bottom of the AM in AMERICA is a distinguishing factor, as is the distance between the FG initials and the base of the Lincoln MemorialAs of August 14, 2024, the Professional Coin Grading Service has certified fewer than 20 1992 Close AM across all grades and designations out of the total mintage of almost 4.6 billion coins from t

    The 1982 penny, what was the US Mint thinking?
    In 1982 the US Mint made 7 different types of penny varieties for the Lincoln cent. This doesn’t include proofs and errors. The Philadelphia and Denver mints first we started with copper then the Mint changed to zinc with copper plating. After that we had two different sizes of date, large and small. Now you may be thinking, that’s 8 varieties. That is true, well almost, if all of these varieties were covered. We’ll get to that later.From 1909 to 1982, the Lincoln cent was made from copper
