A little rim chew, some light spots, light device nicks and overall darkness on the obverse. The reverse is 65 material for sure, but I think they probably knocked it down. NGC MS-63RB BadThad MS-64RB  NICE COIN! |

I think you have some nice looking early date Lincolns. Thank you for the compliment. I have been picking up some nice graded examples this past week, for, what I think are great prices. I have found that it is easier to just switch to purchasing slabbed coins from ebay. With all the deceptive practices sellers use now a days with tricky photography, I find it best this way. |

I like the dot between the 2 & 7. Lint or a real dot?
64 Red. NICE coin.

This just goes to show you how NGC can be all over the board with their grading... I think we can all agree the reverse carried this one.  Edited by jokingjoker

That's one fantastic reverse. If the front looked like the back you would have had a 66 or 67, in my opinion.

Goes to show, grading from pictures is tough.

I scored this coin for $25. Took a gamble on poor pictures and a crummy item description. He had it originally listed for $40, I offered $25 and the seller accepted. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase! http://www.ebay.com/itm/22086993989..._1008wt_1037 |

The old NGC fattie holders are sweet.

 Though the NGC fatty slabs and PCGS' old green holders and rattlers represented a time of supposed stricter grading, I don't believe this coin would come even close to a 65 by today's standards. |
