Nice find. good surfaces. I think this one will grade EF40. a little too much wear on the stalks to pull a 45. Obverse looks EF45. Reverse always supersedes obverse on Lincolns
Is that wear on the coin or just a very poor strike? I wonder because the patina or luster seems to be very consistent, i.e. the high points on Lincoln's beard, ear, and hair and lapel (where you usually see the srufaces scratched and\or flattened from wear) seem to have the same luster as the field. They also seem to be rounded rather than flat..or is it the pic. I want this to be > AU50 but I know the details of the devices aren't what they should be for that grade. But it doesn't seem to be from wear, at least what from what I see in the pic
BadThad - you're a Lincoln expert, can you elaborate?
