I have it at 64BN. There's a couple of spots that hold it back a little I think.

This is definitely the reason.
Two on the obverse. But they are not very noticeable for the first glance.
Carbon spot removal is almost impossible, as I was told.
What's your knowledge on this carbon spot removal tech?
Acetone does not work, and I have tried acetone.

Very nice coins ken. It's really crazy how the color of the copper coin can change a coin completely. The 27's you posted while from the looks of the photo the 27D is a bit better grade than the 27, but sitting next to the redder 27 it looks like a "dog". Please don't take offense to that statement as both coins are nice coins, but initial looks the red coin has more of the wow factor. I went back to the coin show today to pick up the 09s RB I had the dealer set aside. When I walked up to his table he started to smile and said he had some good news for me. He then pulled out an 09s in MS64RD  He said yesterday about an hour after I left a guy came in and sold it to him with a bunch of other slabbed cents. The best part about it is he sold it to me for the same price he quoted me for the RB one. Here is the reunited "family portrait"  Now on to the 1910's. |

No offense taken, you have captured my thoughts exactly about the 27-D - it's a really nice coin standing alone but it lacks that copper red pop that I want. Every time I look through my set, I think "really want to upgrade that one" - along with a few others as well. Then I need to remind myself to work on the upgrades of the circulated coins first - the 15-S, etc.
That is a great looking parade of 1909 Lincolns - they don't get much better than that - the RD designation is rare indeed when you are talking early date Lincolns. You will have your work cut out for you - keep posting your progress, I never get tired of these high grade Lincolns.

md, I know of no way to remove those types of carbon spots. Once there, they are there as far as I know.

It won't compete with some of the "big dogs", but it's good enough for me. I'm heading back to the show again tomorrow I'll do a sweep of the floor and see if there is a decent 15S for you. If there is I'll get the dealers info to you. I'm really heading back to try and make a deal on a crazy zincoln die cap error. It's insane it probably 1/4" thick. He also pulled out this crazy multi struck fused together cent. I think he said it was 19 cents struck/fused together, it was about the diameter of a beer can. He didn't have any off metal errors and I have a few extra sitting in the safe he seemed interested. Quote:

You will have your work cut out for you Thanks. After looking I think the hardest one is gonna be a 26S. There are only 2 graded 65RD (which go for a hundred grand) so the 64RD is a $7000-$8000+ coin  I do have a raw 09 that would look nice next to your 09S   |

Is your plan to go RD on all of them? Based on my experience so far, the P mints should be pretty easy; it is the D and S mints that get really tough. 13-S, 14-D (of course), 14-S, 15-S, 23-S, 24-D, 26-S especially so. After about 1928, the path should be much easier.
As nice as that 09 is, I really need to stay focused on the priority coins. If you see a 15-S or 24-D in 63/64 RB, let me know for sure. The 09-S VDB will most likely be last. That one is pretty easy - plenty available so long as you are willing to open up the wallet. Waiting for some type of special occasion or milestone for that one perhaps.

My plan is to do everything RD. It's definitely not going to be an overnight collection.
I'm looking ahead at some of the tougher ones and the 43 have me wondering if I should stick to a 64 across the board or get those in 66 or 67. The 43 in 64 is really nothing special. The 66/67 look really good.
I'll see what's around the floor tomorrow and pm you so we don't bore everyone else.

Well the 1910 was much easier to find than the 09s.  Working on a deal right now for the 10s. Then on to 1911. |

Nice! You are moving towards very tough territory with those early teen S mints...

Most difficult will be 1922 no D, and the second is 1926 S.
Both are very rare for MS64RD grade.
It cost a small fortune around $100,000 on 22 noD.
At least $8,000 for most unappealing 64RD 1926 S.

I'm well aware of that 26 S. I have a good friend trying to locate that one for me. With past auctions it should be around $5000-$6000 for it. There are only 2 22 noD graded above 60 and red. Unless I can discover a hidden hoard somewhere I'll probably not have that one in my collection.
This isn't an overnight goal, so I have a lifetime to complete it.

15 S is not cheap...or easy to find.
