Excellent variety.
Oh so sweet. I agree with John about the grade as well.

Excellent example. I'd go with low AU.

Very cool! Looks wayyyyyy nicer than VF. Must not have been an avid Lincoln collector. DDO-001 has gotten much tougher pick now so you caught yourself a nice one!

Thanks for all the kind words! And yeah, I'll probably zap off the bit of green by the LIB. But with three folks agreeing it is low AU I have to question myself. I see absolutely no sign of circulation wear on the coin and it has full luster obverse and reverse. Even the rims are almost without a mark. What are people seeing that puts this at anything other than MS? Yeah, it might go details with the dent on the ear/beard but that does not seem like circulation damage.

I have said I am wrong 20% of the time  I think you need input from someone who specializes in these. I know some years have stronger strikes then others, but I do not know which ones. Whatever the grade it has great eye appeal. John1  |

Thanks mastaplanna! And no, not from my dad's collection, which I actually do have. He grew up post-depression/WWII era and they didn't have money to just set aside coins. But he did collect some things, just lower grade coins that were "old" at the time. So it's a collection with family meaning, not strong on the quality coins part.

Beautiful coin - and pics. Did the seller even realize that it was a DDO? Congrats on the deal. I purchased some BU LMC rolls from another CCF member and am just starting to search through some of them. Maybe I will get lucky and find a good one. |
