Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/22/2021 10:07 am I'll say MS-61RB. Possible Die Deterioration Doubling? Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19158 Posts	Posted 05/22/2021 10:14 am Yes, Die Deterioration Doubling is showing--not an extreme case, but it's there. Report this Post to the Staff
hlw1976 Valued Member United States 422 Posts	Posted 05/22/2021 10:27 am M SHILLING I figured that out when I went back to look for my post and I seen I put eight one instead of six one but thank you. And thank you guys for the opinion on the doubling I'm having a hard time with that that's why I came back and ask questions day in and day out maybe one of these days it'll smack me in the head Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/22/2021 1:55 pm This could be die wear and also Machine Doubling. If it is Machine Doubling look on the sides of the devices that don't face the rim. Tops of the date and Liberty. If there is no Machine Doubling there, then it is all die wear. The the 'S' on Trust makes me wonder about Machine Doubling. As far as grade, the lines on the coin pretty much drop it to a nice coin, but not a gradable example. Possible MS-60. Everyone looks for the die wear when they are using photograde, but hits on a coin, drops the grade a lot faster. https://www.PCGS.com/photograde#/Lincoln/Grades These just to common to think of grading. I have tubes of a lot of these BU coins in in boxes. They were a lot cheaper when I bought them. A dollar a roll in the original wrappers. Report this Post to the Staff
IsThisAnything Valued Member United States 440 Posts	Posted 05/22/2021 4:48 pm I see these regularly when CRH. It's still fun to set aside one good example, though. Only costs you a cent to keep it and if it's got you this happy over the condition, I'd say that's worth it. It still is 60 years old, common or not. Report this Post to the Staff
