WOW! Great coins! Thanks for posting them....Lincoln fix...I'm feeling much better. LOL
The pics are a bit small and the light is such that they almost look cleaned and retoned, but I can tell they're not. After taking hundreds of Lincoln photos I know what light can do.
The 11S looks to be VF30-35, it may slide to EF40 in-hand. The 14D is nearly identical! It looks authentic to me. It's a very, very clean 14D with good strike. The wheatlines look like they are all present with just a slight rub. The obverse die seems to be at later stage than the reverse because the reverse wear is lighter than it should be based on the obverse. I'd like to see better pics, it's a beautiful coin!
Now....my grade...lol
I would pay EF45 cash for this coin because of the rarity, cleaniness and nice strike. I don't think it will hit that with PCGS, more likely VF35-EF40...but that's a sweet coin. Congrats!
