paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 02/04/2018 5:12 pm This 1909 Wheat cent is a pretty decent-looking coin. I am using seller's pictures, cropped, so I don't know what it will look like in hand yet. Thoughts on originality and a grade guesstimate? Thanks!

Obverse hit with medium to late die state dies. Lincoln must have been in a fisticuffs before this picture was taken (mark on the cheekbone). Reverse - 66 all day long. HAMMERED!

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 02/04/2018 9:41 pm I love everything about this Lincoln except the obvious Greaser on the L and I .I'm leaning towards the fact that this coin had a very short time in circulation as there is slight rub on hair and beard . AU-59 . Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 02/06/2018 9:36 pm Trying to photograph this coin is difficult with my limited skills and the luster. Here are some shots taken at various angles. The coin is a bit darker in hand but not as dark as the seller's photos. I am on the fence myself between AU58BN / MS64BN. It will head off to PCGS or NGC here in about a month and I will pop for the best imaging.

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 02/06/2018 9:56 pm The woodgrain texture is very prominent on the reverse, and less so on the obverse.

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 02/07/2018 12:14 am The rub on the obverse high points and apparent breaks in the cartwheel spokes in the left and right fields makes it look AU. The toning is also distrubed, it should match the reverse...."cabinet friction"? The reverse is awesome - it's a 50/50 shot with the TPG's but they usually give these a 63RB. Lincoln Cent Lover!
