soccerdad Valued Member Canada 311 Posts	Posted 01/30/2011 8:01 pm Its a nice coin but not a 40. I would give it a 30. Eyebrows and cheek to much wear for a 40 but I always like to grade very conservatively. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 01/30/2011 9:00 pm Thanks guys. I am also leaning toward VF30, might make 35. I am also conservative when it comes to grading, but, IMO, too much wear to warrant XF40. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 01/31/2011 06:05 am Agree with the VF30 or so grade. Cool coin, you don't really see a lot of woody IHC's Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 01/31/2011 08:25 am VF-30/VF-35 sounds about right a few areas of heavy wear on the obverse and some of the encrusted gunk keep it out of EF territory Report this Post to the Staff

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 02/01/2011 02:38 am I would have guessed 40 along with cwb. It looks 30ish, but in my experience with Lincolns, woodies tend to obscure the detail. Maybe it's because my eyes focus so much on the grain effects that they overshadow the contrast of the devices..lol. Might not be the same with indians, but regardless; a great pickup for $3!

coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 02/02/2011 04:00 am Hmm...surfaces look higher grade, more like an XF. I don't know if the 'wear' is related to strike partially. Report this Post to the Staff
