Hi-Ho! Krazy Kermit here!

So I have a question I have been searching all day looking for what some of the differences are between a MS 60; MS 63 & MS 65 when it comes to Lincoln Memorial Cents. Does anyone have pictures of their own or pictures they deem good representations of each of those grades. I am trying to decide what grade to collect.

Thanks,

Kermit
Rest in Peace

Don't eliminate higher grades, such as 66 & 67 from your possible choices.

PCGS provides excellent grading photos.

Rather than attempting a solid grade set, consider a near solid cost set. In other words, whatever grades are closest to your budget. If, for example, you chose $50 each as your cost target, some choices will be 67 while others might be 64.

Check the PCGS site where they have Photogrades of all coins.

Not too useful for Memorial cents. The grading is a lot different for them. The best way to educate yourself is to use ha.com or PCGS, you can find thousands of images for every issue in a very wide range of grades:

Like I said in your other post, don't bother with MS-63 Memorials . My 5 year old Granddaughter collects those .

I thought PCGS had pics for both but apparently not. Strange. I collect Standing Liberty quarters, and they show grading photos for the different types. Seems like it would have been simple enough to do the same for Memorial cents.

Save some money and just go with any MS grade. In 100 years no one will care.
