Sudz Pillar of the Community United States 1572 Posts	Posted 05/29/2013 09:58 am What would be the grade of this coin and how much does the nick by Abe's mouth affect that grade? I am still learning and I have not mastered the grading effects of "nicks" yet. I appreciate your opinions and thanks for your help. Report this Post to the Staff

Scropper CCF Sponsor United States 702 Posts	Posted 05/29/2013 2:15 pm I'm around 62/63 for the obverse and 63/64 for the rev, making it overall 63 in my book. Without the big nick, I'd be pretty comfortable calling it 64 RD. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19961 Posts	Posted 05/29/2013 3:45 pm A big part of the grade will come from luster and eye appeal....then subtract off for distractions. Memorial cents also get a 1-2 pt bump over typical wheat grading. Don't know why, but ALL of the major TPG's do it. MS-65RD Lincoln Cent Lover!

Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 06/06/2013 10:59 pm I feel the front is better than the Rev. What do you think BadThad? Is one big nick worse or a few little ones to a grading company. I would say front 65 and the back 64...so I think its a strong MS64RD Report this Post to the Staff
