themetallurgist Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 11/29/2014 11:55 am PR63, PR64 or PR65? There's a bunch of flea specks all over it. Nothing big though. Carbon spot on the rim. I'm leaning PR64. What do you guys think? Report this Post to the Staff

So what do you think makes it PR63? all the specks? thanks again! ... what a difference lighting makes, huh?! Edited by themetallurgist 11/29/2014 2:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19942 Posts	Posted 11/29/2014 3:10 pm It's all about the surfaces with proofs. I have a 1938 PCGS PR62, it's a little worse than yours. I also have a 1939 in PCGS PR63, yours might be a hair better but they're close...... so I stick with PR63. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19942 Posts	Posted 11/29/2014 3:15 pm I don't seem to have picture of my other proofs, but here is my 1937 NGC PR-62: Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
themetallurgist Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 11/29/2014 3:27 pm thank you Thad! I'm going to go ahead and return the 1938 then. I wasn't too wild about all the specks. paid PR64 price. I've been sticking with PR64 minimum. otherwise, I just have the 1936 and 1937 left to finish the collection. MPL and IHC will have to be further down the road. Edited by themetallurgist 11/29/2014 3:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
