very nice job xshift!
That confirms my hunch, I think.
I did a lot of study before buying one, and this one strikes me as authentic.

Nice job on the overlay xshift, I gotta figure that one out ! Let me start out by saying this coin is RED, no matter what the pics show- I promise you when this gets back from PCGS, it will have a RED grade- Not RB or BN....RED As far as authenticity, I would trust Clyde's judgment on any coin, and he will not buy a questionable coin. I also have confidence in his grading skills- He purchased this coin at an MS-64 price of $3000 (10% back of Greysheet ask of $3300). He is confident it is a 64,and possibly a 65. I will surely let you know what it gets when it gets back.


I don't doubt that, I think the pictures are just not good enough. I can definately tell the reverse is MS, high quality and red. Forgot to comment on that when I made last post. I'm sure Clyde is a knowledgable dealer. It's guys like that who taught me a LOT. The internet is great, but there's no substitute for a coin guru!

I know a lot less about Lincolns than many others on this thread but I thought when I first looked at it that this coin was MS and that what was mistaken for wear was possibly a sheen caused by lighting. Beautiful coin -- it has a great look no matter the grade.

It pays to know diagnostics of genuine keys. The PCGS guide to grading and Counterfeit Detection is a great resource.
