MoochCoin New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 01/27/2018 6:33 pm Just found this coin while CRH today...I consider it to be a MS62, but I am no veteran or expert, total rookie here, so that is a guess...what does everyone else think? Sorry they are sideways, couldn't figure out how to flip them... Edited by MoochCoin 01/27/2018 7:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 01/27/2018 8:18 pm There is no field disturbance and luster is continuous without breaks, indicating mint state. No rub on high points, either. I'd go to 63, although your guess of 62 was terrific. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 01/27/2018 8:45 pm Here again I disagree, and this mostly because of circulation hits. Generally three blemishes will reduce a coin one point in grade on each side. Adding the two sides and averaging gives the overall coin grade. I've circled hits and bag flaws that would kill a normally TPGed coin, this is just one side, I didn't bother with the reverse, altho it may actually help in total grading. It is an exceptional roll find yes, but by rote it will be only at best AU59 on the obverse due to 31 flaws. Oh, missed a few on the date digits...

Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 01/27/2018 9:24 pm Whether or not it was found in a coin roll, I am seeing no wear. And with no visible wear, I would be at MS-63. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19949 Posts	Posted 01/28/2018 02:09 am Looks like it has nice luster - 62/63 is about right IMO. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
