srs77 Pillar of the Community United States 3161 Posts	Posted 12/04/2014 08:54 am Hello, I was hoping you all could help put a grade on this coin. All opinions are welcome. These aren't my actual photos as I don't have the coin in hand just yet. All opinions are welcome. Report this Post to the Staff

scurry64 Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 12/04/2014 10:31 am I can't disagree with IGE. This cent could very well be MS63BN, but the wood grain-like cents are so difficult to grade from a photo because I can't tell whether it is grain or wear, especially behind the ear, in the hair and the wheat lines. In any event, if it's not MS, it is definitely a high AU coin. Report this Post to the Staff
srs77 Pillar of the Community United States 3161 Posts	Posted 12/04/2014 10:37 am I'll post my photos once the coin arrives. Hopefully we'll be able to get a better read on it. Report this Post to the Staff

srs77 Pillar of the Community United States 3161 Posts	Posted 12/04/2014 11:02 am I believe these pictures were taken through a 2x2 and I believe the white spot is just part of that 2x2. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19951 Posts	Posted 12/04/2014 10:22 pm Looks pretty nice, but the photo is too small. I think I see some clues that would make this an AU coin. Looks like some light rub on the hair behind the temple, some crud in around the perimeter devices and some reverse staining. May just a touch of rub on the wheat lines. I don't think the white specks are actually on the coin, looks more like 2x2 junk you can just blow off. When you get it check the luster carefully, it should cartwheel and show almost no breaks in the fields to pass for MS. AU-55 Lincoln Cent Lover!
