Owner Comments:

A new addition to the collection in 2020.
This coin displays a much stronger than average strike with lots of flash, and good surfaces. Not an upgrade contender but 1949 Philadelphia Lincolns are difficult to locate in the upper gem grades. While this date/mm is not rare with more than enough minted the quality of the planchets was poor which makes finding MS67 quality coins a challenge. Housed in a new prong style NGC holder.
