Interesting and fairly nice coin: If I am not mistaken I believe I see doubling on column #1 and #12? Nice steps, a little ruff at the top around "of", and whatever happened to the T in cent? Rim a little off center but no major voids or nicks. Nice picture. Obverse: fairly nice strike and I don't know if is just the picture or lighting - a little ruff in the fields? The Rim nicks - ouch - some rim voids, a nick or so in the figure and a dot to the left of the 1 in 1974. Quality and Overall Eye Appeal varies between buyers and graders, and when grading coins it is a matter of experience and opinions: All of these vary between buyers, sellers and professional graders alike. It is said but I have seen 67s with a nick (hairline in the patina) or two in the fields, rim, and/or also in the figure but then again those are not in the 70s for the most part and they exhibit like mirror fields. This is still a nice looking coin. I would need to see this coin in hand to be sure but I would say 64RD Thanks for sharing and  to CCF Edited by FrankenCoin

I appreciate the feedback. If my coin is only MS64/65 then how did PCGS grade this coin MS67+? LOT #3275...   |

Someone seems to have overgraded the MS-67RD+ example. Yours is MS-65RD, and any grade above that is overgraded.

@kevcoins Grading is experience and knowledge and sometimes you wonder what the grader saw under his lamp but remember professional grading services have multiple graders look, grade, and compare note before arriving at a finial grade and placing the seal that they are responsible for and that is their reputation too.

This is still a nice looking coin. The 70s reference above is 1970s: I have been dealing with some older ones http://goccf.com/t/315877Now these are the ones that can go 67+RD on a good day maybe or even one more if they think they will not be fired. Research ANA Standard Grading Practices: In today's world grading starts at 70 and works down -- it use to be only 65 and down. There are still some high grade coins out there and it is a matter of finding them and knowing what to look for and in "Moderns" there is a fine line for break even or worst OR to being in the money, if you have the eye. I hope this helps - measure twice and cut once. Your have a good eye and great pictures. |

how did PCGS grade this coin MS67+? Eye appeal and luster. PCGS pictures expose and magnify every flaw. They also make it difficult to judge the luster. To hit 67 it takes lots of luster like this:   Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/
