I've been planning to have these in my Lincoln Album and not intended to get them slab hence I am seeking experts opinion.

I've bought this coins for more than a year now.... I know environmental damage (especially the obv) and make the obv look weak (the cheak & jaw still separated though); on the other hand, the rev is very strong..... Anyone guess on the grade and how much I've paid for it?

I'm not an expert but, this is what I would say. Corrosion,obverse, reverse, VF-30, net grade VF-20.

I'd send it to ANACS for authentication. If it slabs, even in this condition, it'd be worth a few bucks.

I think it is authentic. The slant on the "B" of the "VDB" looks correct, and the "S" looks correct with the die chip. It's always good to be sure though.

I agree with Johnny-I too think it's the real deal. I would probably give it a grade of vf details-corroded-hard to tell , but possibly cleaned at some point. If you plan on keeping it and not selling, I would just keep it in your album. Hard to venture a guess on a purchase price-maybe 2/3 of catalog price due to the corrosion.
