WOW, this is an absolutely stunning wheat ! I took the best pictures I could of this coin when I found it. I would grade the coin at M64+ or even an MS65? Great strike, perfect luster, and amazing eye appeal!   |

You CHR'ers have too much fun finding this stuff...WOW! Was this a roll of unsearched wheats?
The cents are hard for me to grade though...I just don't see any sign of wear or flattening in the typical places on a cent. The Strike on the obverse seems a bit mushy to me, so maybe that's the wear I'm not picking up on. I don't see any break in the luster though. The rim looks ticked in several places, and I see several dings on the obverse, one between the bottom point of his cheek and corner of his mouth, then several other little ones on Lincolin's jacket. On the reverse I see some minor marks on the left wheat stalk and a couple of light scratches between the C in cent and the left wheat stalk.
Not an authority on Lincolns at all though, an will probably get quit the education on this when BadThad weighs in, but I would think that it has to go at least MS60.
Either way NICE coin for begin found in a roll.

OK so after consulting PCGS photograde I wonder if its higher maybe around MS62...I'll shut up now and wait for the ones who know their stuff on LWC. |

There is too much reflection on the high points of the coin that makes grading impossible.

Looking through ebay found ones that look just like that for around a grand, wow. I wish I could I could find rolls of pennies like that. I find some nice ones but I get the rolls from my mom. We started back in the sixties putting all our pennies in five gallon glass jars, I still have one and a half left to search. I have only gone through about half of one jar because she mails them to me from Wisconsin. A lot of mint marks. |
