Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 03/28/2017 02:46 am My first commemorative coin. Looking like it may be the first of a few, as I also like the 1999 Yellowstone and 2001 Buffalo.. I'm not used to looking at commemorative strikes, so I don't know how to grade them. Anyone want to share their thoughts? The mark on the reverse that seems to cross the F in FROM is a piece of lint. I do like the matte appearance though. I'm glad I went uncirculated instead of proof -- added bonus of a lower mintage for UNC strikes. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 03/28/2017 03:04 am I can't offer any experience on grade and haven't gotten into commems but, anything with Lincoln or the Buffalo is a plus in my book. Nice choice! In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Report this Post to the Staff

However, if it hasn't been out of the mint capsule and has a typical strike, they usually grade out 69-70. You picked a nice one to start your collection. I've got the Yellowstone and it's nice.

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12376 Posts	Posted 03/28/2017 1:06 pm Congrats on the purchase of your first modern US commemorative! As already noted, the grade should be either a 69 or 70 if it has never been handled outside of the US Mint capsule. I hope you enjoy having it as part of your collection for years to come!
