With the pics I'm at AU58 personally. Love the coin!  Left wheat grains look to have some wear, would love to see this in hand though, the obverse is stunning! |

The only thing that would make me think AU is a few of the kernels on the left stalk but it's hard to say. I'm more inclined to think that's just something on the 2x2. Rims look real strong and I'd say at least a 64BN without seeing it in hand for luster.

AU-58 looks right with the small rub on the ear.

Does it cartwheel under the brown?

Yes. It looks great in hand. To my eyes it's the best looking early brown lincoln I've ever seen. Maybe too dark for many, but I love it. I'm not sure about the flatness over the ear. Strike or wear? Either way, it's a keeper!

Realistically with the pics I'd be more than happy to pay full boat AU-58 price...it's beautiful! I'd have a hard time pulling the trigger at the MS64BN level without seeing it in hand. It's all just opinion...regardless of those...this is a fantastic coin!  |
