oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 03/21/2012 8:00 pm So much for grading skills on Lincolns. No disrespect, but I thought that ANY hit on the face was a disqualifier for a 65+ grade. Edited by oih82w8 03/21/2012 8:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Absolutely not, the fields are the priority. If there was a hit in the obverse fields, it could be precluded from a 66 or up grade but minor device hits will not drop a grade. You also have to realize that NGC and PCGS grade mostly on luster, then they look for hits and spots. It's all about luster! Lincoln Cent Lover!
