    Good Deal | 1942 Proof Cent

    I wanted to share a Lincoln I purchased from Ebay for $58. It is a 1942 Proof with Rainbow Target toning.

    The Ebay seller took terrible pictures: http://www.ebay.com/itm/220995793249...84.m1497.l2649

    When I looked up the Certificate on PCGS mobile, a link to this Teletrade auction came up: http://www.teletrade.com/coins/lot.a...390&lot=1040#n

    Same coin, $320.

    When I got it at home it looks better than the Teletrade Pics. I don't normally buy Brilliant Proofs, but this is a keeper!

              Thanks I'm going to keep it. Even though it is a nice rainbow, I don't think many people would pay over $300.

                    Very cool brad. Glad that you're keeping the coin. I think you will greatly enjoy it. The upside that you will get a nice return if you ever decide to sell it or upgrade. or just sell it to upgrade =)

                            Nice one Brad. I have a 42 proof from pcgs at pr62 red and the rev has the same color but the obv is got some good rainbow around the coin. Motto has a nice darker red color and the date area is green/red/purple. Not as good as your grade.
                            Nice pick up.
