OK, so I am trying to get some high grade common wheats for my collection and have been trying ebay. I made my first purchase that I felt confident that the pics were a good representation of the coin.

These are the sellers photos that I made my purchase based on. What do you grade it? After a bit I'll post my own photos I took today after the coin arrived and we will see what you think.

keep in mind that I am trying to get a set of MS65RD Wheats or better so if this doesn't get it, I made a poor purchase. I paid $1.80.

Yeah, I think this makes 65! That hit on the reverse is pretty eye catching in that photo so I'm curious to see your pics. Are you happy with it? At the end of the day I don't think you made a poor purchase at all by the way. I've spent much more on $1.80 just going through the McDonald's drive through and that, my friend, is a poor purchase...

I think it's close enough to 65RD for your set!

Wow, the new photos look different. At least, I don't think it is lower than a 64. What's up with Lincoln's temple? Are those pits or carbon spots? I think it would make a bit of difference with the grade, right?

I believe 64RD. Mark on reverse might hold it back. Still a beautiful coin!
