Yorkish Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 01/24/2021 3:49 pm Good afternoon CoinCommunity! Just testing my grading skill progress, and am hoping the community can confirm or critique as necessary. I believe this coin to be in MS-64 condition. What do you all think?

nfine Pillar of the Community United States 2153 Posts	Posted 01/24/2021 3:55 pm Too much wear on Abe's temple, cheek, jaw and lapels to be a mint state coin in my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
Yorkish Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 01/24/2021 3:58 pm Ok, so what would you grade it as? I'm still training myself to do this stuff so all the input is helpful. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 54624 Posts	Posted 01/24/2021 4:05 pm I'm at MS-66 or even 67, possibly RD but can't be sure from these pics. A beauty. Report this Post to the Staff

Yorkish Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 01/24/2021 5:17 pm @coinfrog how could I improve the pictures? Is it that there is too much glare? Or is the light too monotone? Report this Post to the Staff
nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 944 Posts	Posted 01/24/2021 5:49 pm Given the lack of hits, I'd say this is a mint state coin, MS-66, and that the flat looking areas on Abe are the result of glare. When you get glare there's either too much light, or it's too direct, or both, so move the light source away, or scatter it by shining it through paper. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Bedrock of the Community United States 37671 Posts	Posted 01/24/2021 6:46 pm IMHO, not a MS coin...AU-55 to AU-58 John1 ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion ) Searched 5+ Million Cents Since 1971 Report this Post to the Staff
Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 3971 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 12:02 pm Obverse: as stated above, light issue or wear.. Reverse: Dark spot in the middle of the vase on the left-hand side of the stairs puts my opinion at AU-58. If it's not hockey, it's not a sport Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Pillar of the Community United States 2908 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 12:35 pm AU55++ for me. Given the photos, obverse shows modest wear on high points, as does the reverse (perhaps a bit less). Sharper, higher resolution photos taken using diffused lighting would help.

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 16857 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 5:40 pm Large date zinc, 64 sounds right to me. Lincoln Cent Lover! Report this Post to the Staff
Diy89Nurm7 Valued Member United States 215 Posts	Posted 01/27/2021 01:02 am Guessing AU-53/55, too. In addition to other comments so far, the lettering does not seem crisp and some letters, like the N and G and the 8 and 2 on the obverse might be slightly flat from wear. Of course, hard to be completely sure with pictures. Stay well! Diy89Nurm7 Report this Post to the Staff
