The `13 S is simply just too sharply struck and free of marks to be a 64. It qualifies as a 67 in my book any day!


There is a (comparatively) large and distracting mark directly in front of Lincoln's forehead which was the very first thing I saw on that coin. It snagged my eye instantly, being in a prime visual focusing area. There's also what looks like a hit from a foreign object that struck both the field and the rim at 3:00. On the reverse, there's a nick in the E and field chatter to the left of CENT, as well as a ding on the rim at 5:00. I think 64 is conservative for this one, but in no way does it exceed 65. The Philadelphia coin is in all ways the superior of the two.

And unfortunately, I have to move this to Moderns, where it belongs. On the bright side, that's where the Lincoln guys hang out.

Thanks for moving this thread. I did not realize I was missing so much of my stuff.

Also you are correct with the 13-s and 13-P

I cant wait to get my pics of the 13-D

Also Jimbux I am not doing the proofs just the regular strike through 1920

I'm usually not much for toned coins, but that purple toning DOES look really cool!
