That is an outstanding example of a 20S! For the issue, that coin is hammered.

help me understand where youse guys are seeing wear for the AU. Cheek? eyebrow? curl high points? tops of wheat grains? dark areas by rim and letters (obv/rev) indicating that there was rub in the fields where it isn't dark? The fact that "LIBERTY" is worn flat (oh, scratch that, sorry, well, don't actually *scratch* it, but you know what I mean)

I was thinking soft obverse strike, soft O on reverse, but uncirculated. So I say ms 62

Thanks for the insight BadThad, Keep teaching!
From Q. David Bowers "Tired, overused dies seem to have been the rule at San Francisco this year."

It was stuck with amazing force, rather than just a low pressure or average pressure strikes.

That is what I was referencing in the post above... finding a well struck coin from San Francisco that year is unlikely. Most were made from well worn dies apparently.

MS63BN. A beautiful piece, that actually would fit quite nicely in my 1909-present book.

What does this mean? A strong strike, fresh dies. SanFran overused their dies a lot in the 20's because the working dies came from Philly. They had a hard time getting the dies they needed and production demands were high....so we have a lot of crappy branch mint Lincolns from the 20's. Here's an example, the reverse is very LDS (Late Die State):   |

Nice strike but it shows signs of wear on beard, cheekbone and eye brow. AU-55
