zacharycash Pillar of the Community United States 668 Posts	Posted 04/20/2008 01:19 am Ok here is a fairly well struck 1929 D Lincoln Cent. What would you grade this? What would you value it? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

zacharycash Pillar of the Community United States 668 Posts	Posted 04/20/2008 01:21 am Oh yea and guess what I paid for it. Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 04/20/2008 06:32 am VF20, mebbe you paid five to 20 cents for a VF coin that averages about 35 to 60 cents in value? Report this Post to the Staff
CuprousCoin Valued Member United States 226 Posts	Posted 04/20/2008 08:48 am I can detect wear only slightly on the high points, so I grade it at AU50. appears to have very few distracting marks and original color making it a very nice coin indeed! Approx. value $14 Report this Post to the Staff
Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3233 Posts	Posted 04/20/2008 11:31 am Looks AU to me. I'd be curious if that verdigris on the obverse bottom could be gently removed though. Report this Post to the Staff
zacharycash Pillar of the Community United States 668 Posts	Posted 04/20/2008 12:42 pm Thanks for the input. I also thought AU. I paid 20 cents. I bought it in a roll Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 04/21/2008 12:02 am I also think it deserves at least AU-50. There is almost no sign of wear. I am curious about that mark at the hair line above Abe's forehead. It looks like something scraped upward into Abe's hair, creating a little raised lip of metal. Or, maybe that's an as-struck feature? Report this Post to the Staff
1sikevo Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 04/21/2008 12:43 am I would give it an AU50-55. No clue on the value since my Greysheet is in the car. Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 04/21/2008 05:00 am How do you all reckon it's AU with the rim wear on the reverse? Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 04/21/2008 05:01 am and the wear on the wheat ears? Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19931 Posts	Posted 04/21/2008 10:50 am Look at Lincoln's cheek, it's almost perfect. The rims are one of the last things to wear on a Lincoln. Also note the high quality of ONE CENT, just a single mark. Don't mistake wheathead wear for a worn die, which is the case with this coin's reverse. Lincoln Cent Lover!

JohnAP Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 05/14/2008 11:28 pm One question, What's going on on the reverse rim, from about 11 oclock clockwise around to about 4 oclock? Maybe a little offset to boot? Nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff
penny pincher Valued Member United States 429 Posts	Posted 05/26/2008 9:52 pm I would say about EF40. The reasons are that the reverse has a lot of wear at the bottom at the rim and the stalks are starting to round a little bit. On the obverse there are two noticeable nicks in the suit and from the ear to the shoulder look a bit flat without a lot of detail. The hair and face are very well defined but the beard starts to go flat as well. No matter how you look at it, it is a great coin for $0.20. Report this Post to the Staff
SpringCypress Pillar of the Community United States 666 Posts	Posted 06/02/2008 12:22 am I would grade it as AU, but were I to buy it I wouldn't spend anymore than low end XF price. For my personal collection I don't make a distinction between wear and strike. Report this Post to the Staff
desertgem Pillar of the Community United States 860 Posts	Posted 06/02/2008 02:55 am Also AU-50. Nice for a circulated coin. I think the weakness in the rev. bottom rim is partially due to the offset of the top that JohnAP mentioned. Jim Report this Post to the Staff
