1954 Lincoln Proof

I also find grading proofs to be difficult, but I will do my best to give you an opinion. There is some hazing, so that will lower the grade somewhat, though I don't see hairlines or stray marks. I'd call it a PR65. I hope someone else chimes in so that I can see how I did.

It is very hard to grade proofs from photographs ,,since somethings are amplified by the camera .

So strictly from the pictures

PR-64 the obverse fields show extensive hairlines as well as some spotting (one of the things which maybe exagerated in the pictures) the larger patch in front of Lincolns nose is the real hit for the obverse ,, the reverse is impaired by the spots with what appears to be about 60% of it affected,the area around the E of one cent is very eye catching .
