[ Click on coin to view full size image ] Description If you can appreciate handsome toning, this may possibly be the most beautiful 1917 you will ever lay our eyes on. The surfaces are remarkably flawless, but that is not what makes this coin special. What does it for this coin is an unexplainable, captivating glow to the luster. There is no concrete definition or science to this certain look; it's more of a combination of different factors all coming together. I see it on well less than 1% of uncirculated early Lincolns that pass across my desk. This "magical glow" comes across much more effectively in person than in the pictures, something I hate to have to say since we put so much effort into photography. But it is true. This is a premium quality piece that I feel anyone, no matter how particular you are, will be thrilled and proud to have added to their collection. It's the one coin you will show off, not because it is a key date, but because it will turn heads every time.
