Lucky you. Nice find. Glad to know they are still out there. In my last 4 boxes of cents I've found 10 wheats, 10 Canadian, no RPMs, no WAMs and a few 7th column DDRs (up for auction on CCF.) Pretty slim pickings.

That's a nice clean looking coin. I too found one finally several days ago but not in as nice condition. Well done!

Thank you fellas. This one took yrs of 2 to 4 boxes a week. I would be scared to know how many I have looked at. daviscfad, I live in Maryland on the "Eaatern shore" about 30 minutes from the ocean and about 100 miles due sotuth of Philly. I think I set in just about the perfect place to be roll searching in. This one is nice enough that it is in my building pile of coins for certification. Any thoughts on grade? The only things I see on on the eyebrow and back of the shoulder and not sure they are wear. Jim

I would call it AU-58, it is still really Red and it would not take too much circulation to knock it down to RB or BN.

Congrats! I'm new to searching, have probably only done about 4 boxes of cents, hopefully it won't take 4 years to find my first WAM. But, if it is as nice as yours, it'll be worth the wait. AU-58 sounds about right, and is a great addition to any collection. Congrats again. |

Boy, I'm new at this, but that still looks MS to me.

Unfortunately, Dylansdad, the guys are right. As I posted in the beginning, not quite MS. there is just too much going on with the obverse. Look at the eyebrow. back of the collar and shoulder and you can see abrasion marks. Be it bag wear or what ever, this is enough to drop it out of MS. Still, AU-58 on a 11 yr old coin from circulation, I could not be happier.

Hey, you're the one with it in hand,  but I'd attribute what I'm seeing to the frequently seen Lincoln weak strike. I find it hard to believe it's circulated enough to wear, but not discolor it more. (Sure would like BadThad's opinion.) |
