thryan9 Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 01/07/2016 1:45 pm Any comments on possible grade would be appreciated. The VDB looks weak. Is this a sign of a late die state? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19951 Posts	Posted 01/07/2016 2:51 pm The obverse may have an old cleaning, it looks dull to me but the reverse looks nice, I can see cartwheel spokes/luster. 63 The VDB is shallow on the die, it fills with grease and wears quicker than the other design elements. It cannot be used to judge the die state. The coin appears to be a mid-die state based on the EPU, you can see a little thickening and slight migration toward the rim. Lincoln Cent Lover!

jjwabraham Valued Member United States 288 Posts	Posted 01/08/2016 8:01 pm I was guessing MS-63 before reading the other posts, but I didn't catch the cleaning on the obverse, it just looks a little duller than the very nice reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
