Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 1613 Posts	Posted 07/10/2021 5:11 pm Not certain what you're attempting to find out, and from the photos, looks like a mint state Lincoln from a set or roll. Most likely the former, this would be perfect for a Whitman album. Value wise, a very slight premium above face. Graded it would be in the neighborhood of $20-25. So the fees charged by third party graders exceed this if that's a question.
