46D - 65
54S - 63
55S - 64, maybe 65....
Angled pics make it hard to grade.

My guesses;
46D - 64RD - The tick on the neck is a point of distraction for me
54S - 65RD - The reverse color looks like it's not helping here, could be the lighting in the photo if it's not ugly then 66RD
55S - 65RD - The reverse has a couple of ticks that hold it back from a 66 or even 67 for me.

Whoops I didn't see the chatter on the jacket and ticks on the cheek line for the 54S you guys are right on MS63 I was way off. Grading from only a photo can be dangerous!

How recent were they graded at ICG? I liked their grading at the beginning and the first few years they came out, but since then not so much.

I'm not sure when they were graded. All three slabs are diffrent. Anyone wanna take a guess? If I had to take a guess I'd say the one on the right is the newest. Also It doesn't seem to be red, I think its more red brown. Lincoln looks darker than the rest of the surface.   Edited by LincolnGuy

Yep one on the right is a recent slab from them.

ICG is usually much more liberal than the other top three TPG companies. I'd say the grades mentioned above are a bit closer to the actual grade of these coins. |

I would stick with NGC and/or PCGS if you are putting together a set of slabbed Lincolns. Anyone else is a crap shoot.(nothing to do with Dice). You should also pay careful attention to the coin inside. A few if not many have not been properly stored over the years and appear that way.

I have had good luck with ANACS as well. But ICG does seem to be hit or miss. I got these off of ebay and I think they were about $5 each. I think they are all over graded but the 54-s and 55-s have really nice eye appeal to me. The 55-s is one of the best looking pennies I have. It has a really BRIGHT finish and stands out in my collection. |

ICG kinda lost my respect in grading quite a while ago when I had a chance to go through hundreds of MS66 graded Lincolns from PCGS, NGC, ICG, and ANACS. From what I saw, the 'hit' rate was quite low for ICG, and ANACS wasn't far better. PCGS was on the top with NGC following closely behind. I think only one of 20 coins on average from ICG was properly graded.
