Ross Son Valued Member United States 173 Posts	Posted 01/18/2017 1:35 pm Please help with grading this 1959 LMC. In my mind, either VF30 or EF40 and Red? Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 01/18/2017 3:01 pm With all do respect ,there is nothing here worth grading . Common coin, numerous hits, dirty, and lots of marks . AU-50 Details only because you requested a grade . Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/18/2017 3:11 pm The "scruffiness" is mainly a toning issue(spittle spots, fingerprints, etc), this coin is solidly AU. The coin is Red-Brown but a lot closer to Red than Brown, something you would not see on a coin worn below AU. The original red patina is the first thing that disappears in circulation.

Ross Son Valued Member United States 173 Posts	Posted 01/18/2017 5:24 pm Thanks all. This is my best looking 1959 LMC. I just wanted to know if the rest would agree with what I was thinking in terms of grading. Report this Post to the Staff
Ross Son Valued Member United States 173 Posts	Posted 01/18/2017 5:29 pm Forgot to mention that you guys were generous on the grading, I thought maybe because the wear on the hair would give this coin a VF maybe EF, but didn't think AU even. The red or red-brown is just the color, and I was focusing more on the details and wear. If the coin was brown, then the scuffing wouldn't be as visible have a better eye appeal, IMO. As a newbie, I haven't come across many 1959 LMC that was this red before, only the brownest of the browns. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19966 Posts	Posted 01/21/2017 12:58 am Save up a few bucks and go to a local coin shop. You can buy real nice examples for like 25 cents. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
