AU-58. Not quite sure if those reddish marks on Lincolns cheekbone and a bit on his shoulder are either bag marks or wear spots. But since they are on the high points I'm assuming it's wear. If there's luster still full at those areas and it's just the photograph then I'd give 63 or 64 RB. I'm new at grading based on pictures so don't take my opinion as a final answer. Either way a beautiful coin.

AU58. Could grade as MS62 or 63 though....on any given day.
As changefinds pointed out, a couple too many ticks for MS for me.
BUT....this is a NICE 18 S. Mid die state obverse couple with an early mid die state reverse.

AU-63, is there cartwheel luster? That will decide.

Very nice one. I think you have a shot at MS65RB. 64 at least.

To me I think it may have a cleaning by dipping so as such MS details. Hopefully I'm wrong.

For the record, my "ink" guess for this coin is 64-BN.

A super nice coin, I must also say 63 is a conservative grade. Me thinks you should have gotten a 64.

Man, that's a SWEET 63BN! The PCGS pictures are great! CAC candidate IMO - I'd like it in 64 holder!
