srs77 Pillar of the Community United States 3132 Posts	Posted 07/14/2015 11:38 am I'm hoping you can all supply me with your thoughts on a grade for this 1912-P Lincoln. I have an opportunity to pick this one up and greatly improve my current grade. Thanks in advance.. Report this Post to the Staff

jdiablo30 Pillar of the Community United States 946 Posts	Posted 07/14/2015 11:45 am Nice overall strike..63-64 brown range. The reverse might garnish a details grade because it looks like it had a old cleaning way back when. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19948 Posts	Posted 07/14/2015 1:49 pm This is one impossible to judge by the given pictures, I can't see any cartwheel spokes and that's what's needed to tell if it's AU or MS. There appears to be a bit of rub on the wheat lines, cheek, jaw, lapel and temple....but it could be the toning. If you look at the PCGS Photograde pictures, this could be MS-62. At the same time, it could be one you send to PCGS expecting an MS grade and it comes back AU-55. I'd go for it if the price is at the AU level. AU-62 Lincoln Cent Lover!

That is the same thought that crossed my mind. Coin looks like it def has a old cleaning on it. Report this Post to the Staff
srs77 Pillar of the Community United States 3132 Posts	Posted 07/15/2015 07:23 am After viewing the coin in person I can tell you the coin has not been cleaned or recolored. This was purchased from a major dealer in Chicago so I was able to talk with them and view the coin in hand before making the purchase. It looks so good in hand I was actually surprised because I thought the pictures might have been off a little. It's a beautiful coin in hand and it's an awesome upgrade for the one I had. Thanks everyone for your thoughts on this one. It's truly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff
