I'm grading them MSA-8 cause I certainly can see a fine wheat line or a booger in Lincolns nose.A real pic could certainly change my thoughts on this. I do know my Lincolns boogers. This one has the jaw bone and the cheek bone as you said Mike, it's different as a biggie.I would say Mike, In a really good auction, that coin would bring 3 cents easy.

It's hard to tell from the pics, but from what I can see, I'm confident this coin would grade at least XF. I appears to have very nice color.

The pics are a little blurry, but that coin looks to me like it has some circulation wear. It's in great shape though - XF to AU - and that is a pretty tough date. It's nicer than the one I have in my 12-S slot!

Do you have anything constructive to say or just worthless jibberish? |

Mike, you need a tripod or atleast find a way to stabalize the camera. No one could tell from your pics. Your lighting looks decent.

Even though the pics are completely out of focus, it looks to at least EF and maybe AU.

Strange everyone else seems to have completely skipped the point that even with the blurry images it is pretty obvious that coin has been through some scrubbing and wouldn't grade at all. If it has pretty good detail, I'd probably net it to VF and get rid of it.

I can't say it's been cleaned from those pictures, but I can say it looks like a 1913-S and not a 12-S like the title says. LOL

It really does appear to have been cleaned excessively but that could well be from the photos and the lighting. Without better photos it is rather difficult to tell to much about that coins condition. Excessive lighting could make that coin appear to be cleaned.
And it does appear to be a 13S from what those photos show.
Still with the amount of those minted, the demand for Lincoln Cents being rather high, still a decent coin to have.

I'm 100% sure it's a 1912-S. I used a magnafying glass. It's just the picture. I took that picture in the dark while my wife was a sleep, so yeah the lighting sucked horribly
