I'll take a guess and say MS-67.
Errers and Varietys.

A good looking cent and nice images!  I have uploaded the images to the forum, please do that in the future. Linked images tend to disappear. Uploaded images are forever.

Errers, take a look at PCGS and the photo of the MS69, in your opinion which one looks better. I was thinking of submitting to PCGS, ideas?

I'm at 67 with a chance at 68. I think what looks to be Reed Marks on Abe's coat and shirt collar will be the limiting factor.

Strong MS67 for me. Unfortunate doink on the reverse rim. Excellent photos!

Beautiful cent and great photos. Definitely a high grade example, I'd say MS67 or better.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art

I'd say the 67, the rim tuck above the D in states will prevent a 68 or 69.

I was surprised at the PCGS value guide has an MS67 RD example listed at $30 and an MS68 example listed at "only" $55. Quote: I was thinking of submitting to PCGS, ideas? Better hope for a 69 grade because even at a 68 grade you won't recoup the cost of grading.

Nice coin! MS-67 with a shot at higher grades. The only negative is the slight MAD.

some very light chatter on the lapel below the bow. very light rub on the cheek. a rim tick at K10 rev. this is a super clean coin with nice even color on both sides and really nice fields. one of the best LMC I've seen on here in a long time. i think its a solid MS67 and MS68 is not out of the question understand that even though is a really sweet coin, its value does not warrant submitting. the costs of grading would exceed the value of the coin. place the coin in an airtite holder to protect it PCGS charges a minimum of $69 for a subscription other subscription levels include grading vouchers though so you could reduce these costs. add to the subscription cost, per coin grading cost which is a minimum of $23, shipping & ins both ways (1-4 coins is $27 if the total value is under $1000). Gold $149 includes 4 vouchers so if you had 4 coins it would come out to about $44/coin. NGC - economy grading tier is $22, plus $10 handling fee, plus $28 for shipping (1-5 coins) and insurance both ways. ANACS - Economy - No Gold: $18 per item for items valued up to $500. plus $29 for shipping (1-4 coins) and insurance both ways. CACG - $99 subscription ($50 grading credit), economy grading $15, gold $28, $40 shipping/handling/ins i don't slab coins for these reasons especially the cost involved. I don't know why this is so popular today. just making the grading companies wealthy

I found my photo grade accuracy is capped at 67, regardless of the quality of the pictures.

Quote: I have given up guessing number grades with photos and prefer a range. i agree grading by photo is hit or miss, maybe just go with the alpha grade if you dont feel comfortable with the numerical i like seeing if I can hit the grade on a slab and if not how far I'm off. if its not slabbed is what I'm seeing matching up to the other comments as I dont look at those until I finish my assessment. I rarely change my grade based on others assessments unless they provide compelling evidence to the contrary. i dont think this a test. I think it does however help add to to my grading skills. no one gets it right all the time.
