NGC US Coin Census for Lincoln Cents, Memorial Reverse (1959-2008)

Owner Comments:

NGC Top-Pop (1 of 64). This is my only Amazon.com purchase and it turned out to be a decent coin.

This is signigicant carbon spotting on the obverse of this coin with the largest spot by far covering about 1/3 of the area between the "R" in TRUST and Lincoln's brow. The toning on the reverse is confined to the steps of the Memorial. The colorization of this toning is a remarkable magenta hue and mixed with an orange at the fringes and along the "tail" of the shape that reminds me of a meteor headed to earth.

Both rims are full. Except for the toning and carbon spotting, this coin has great surfaces and devices and the mirrors and cameos are easily seen across the coin.
