John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/08/2013 05:11 am I am not good at grading but I would say au50. But I would pass on it because of the dent on the shoulder,IMHO. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Afterimage Valued Member United States 360 Posts	Posted 09/08/2013 11:26 am I'll go with AU-53. Looks like there is a slight lamination issue going on with the left hand side of the wheat thingamabobber. Nice! Report this Post to the Staff

shaban Valued Member United States 161 Posts	Posted 09/08/2013 12:48 pm Thanks everyone, was hoping it would actually grade MS, oh well. I am going to have to disagree with the AU53 grade though and say it's an AU55. Based on the PCGS photograde, the au53 shows less details on the wheat stalks then the au55. I would say AU58/MS60, but it has a couple small dings (shoulder and I in America). Also John1, I found this in a coin roll that I got on ebay! Afterimage, I checked it again and there was unfortunately no lamination error on the wheat stalk :( Report this Post to the Staff

Your photo makes it look like a small chunk is missing from the middle of it. Report this Post to the Staff

solotime Pillar of the Community United States 2311 Posts	Posted 09/15/2013 6:31 pm XF-45, marks and scratches on the front, few marks on the letters for the back. Don't look like it has enough hair for AU grades Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19963 Posts	Posted 09/16/2013 5:35 pm You do realize you can buy these in MS65 for about $3? Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
shaban Valued Member United States 161 Posts	Posted 09/17/2013 10:00 am ^ Not quite, http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trk...=0&_from=R40 I understand it's not an expensive coin, but I found it in a roll, and this helps me learn how to grade :) Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19963 Posts	Posted 09/18/2013 09:23 am Those are slabbed, go to a coin show and you can buy all of the steel issues in raw 64/65 grades for cheap. I've seen all 3 together for less than $10. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
