And I will probably send it in regardless. Either way, I'd love any opinions! Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19304 Posts	Posted 04/12/2020 5:27 pm I like the toning, but the light overall wear, the scratch, and the 'corrosion' spots/pits on the obverse rim (3 o'clock) and reverse E on ONE will keep the coin from achieving a top-end grade. If you send it in, let us know what comes back. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19988 Posts	Posted 04/12/2020 6:09 pm I believe the scratch is bad enough for a details grade. In the absence of better pictures, the color may also not be market acceptable. It's a pretty cool cool coin but not worth sending in for any reason. AU details Lincoln Cent Lover!

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3678 Posts	Posted 04/12/2020 6:37 pm I agree with the upthread comments that this is a detail coin and the toning looks artificial. The scratch on Lincoln's vest and the area adjacent to the obverse rim at about 3 o'clock might also be problems. I just don't see any upside to submission here. Even a straight grade would either be AU-58 or possibly be MS-62, and neither would produce any value for the coin. If the toning is genuine, the coin doesn't need a slab. If the toning is artificial, a slab won't help. JMHO Report this Post to the Staff

This one just happened to have the craziest toning, I just didn't send it in because of the scratch. Report this Post to the Staff
