InfiniteInterest Pillar of the Community United States 673 Posts	Posted 05/25/2008 10:13 pm The pics are quite dark, I cannot tell if any wheat lines show at all. If there is any separation of the wheat lines, I would go VG-8...As it looks from these pics I have to say G-4. The cheek , jaw, and ear also look flat in the pics- any detail that might not be showing could also bring it up to a VG grade. It looks like a well struck example with very even wear and color, with no distracting marks- nice pickup ! Try tweaking the brightness and contrast a bit, it should bring out some more of the details for grading. It looks like it is in a holder, so getting better pics will be tricky.

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19931 Posts	Posted 05/26/2008 12:22 am Pics not too good, but it looks about VG to me, I think I see some wheatlines. You can polish the slab with some of the stuff used for car headlight covers, then take some better pics, it would help us in grading. Lincoln Cent Lover!

1sikevo Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 05/26/2008 3:43 pm G6-VG8. My 1914-D is an F-12 (ANACS). Here's some pics for comparison. Reverse was before submission. Edited by 1sikevo 05/26/2008 3:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 05/26/2008 4:56 pm I'd agree with a VG-8 details grade. Does anyone else think this coin has a slightly corroded look? The color looks very dark (even taking into account the underexposure) and the surfaces seem a bit granular. I'd like to see a QX-5 close-up of the date and mintmark. The shape of the mintmark is very important for confirming authenticity and a good photo could be educational. I'm still waiting to pick up a '14-D; it's a nice coin in any grade.
