That verdigris would be an excellent candidate for VERDI-GONE™. Most of could be removed IMO. Lincoln Cent Lover!

Spider5689 Pillar of the Community United States 2269 Posts	Posted 11/11/2008 11:39 am AG-3, The reason I'm giving that grade is because the reverse shows a lot of wear. The AM in America are heavily worn and part of the Wheat on the right side is almost worn completely. Your Lincoln looks appears to have some pitting on the reverse.

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 11/11/2008 2:16 pm I suspect the verdigris is hampering the detail visibility here. Going by ear, bowtie, and wheat stalk detail, my inexpert guess would be around F12. But, I agree--there's a lack of detail in the LR of the reverse--strike?

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 11/11/2008 3:48 pm On a G-AG coin the wheat lines will be obliterated. This coin shows ~70% of the lines. Also, there appears to still be slight separation between the cheek and jaw. In 1916 a new, superior master die was used. However, the S mint was well known for over-using dies and not using the correct die separation distance. Just a couple more factors one should consider when grading the early wheats.

nlp coins Pillar of the Community United States 2373 Posts	Posted 11/11/2008 9:21 pm My guess would be F-12. Wheats lines not worn enough to hold the grade down, surface texture and strike taken in consideration. Report this Post to the Staff
