kgenks New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 01/30/2021 4:16 pm Hello everyone. I'm trying to get a handle on estimating coin grade so let me know what you all think. With the naked eye, this coin is beautiful but pictures always seem to show some type of discoloration or marks. This coin has that wood texture which I think looks nice though I'm not sure if that adds to or takes away from the coins grade. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19968 Posts	Posted 01/31/2021 01:56 am Same photo comments as the other one. Weak strike, very flat hair, temple and cheek.

Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 01/31/2021 10:04 am Again, tough to judge. Looks like it may have seen some light circulation, MS63 at best for me. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97511 Posts	Posted 01/31/2021 10:34 am Ok, I keep seeing statements about 'cartwheels' what are they? Collecting since 1972.

HumblePie Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 01/31/2021 11:48 am Cartwheel is just lighting up the Luster for photos. Or when you roll a coin in-hand under a light, and the Luster twirls around the Coin. Of course it has to be a MS Coin for great Luster/Cartwheel.

kgenks New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 02/01/2021 3:02 pm I know that if I take a photo indoors using a little bit of light coming from my phone that I can get a picture that shows luster if there is any. I'll take pics like that and repost to see if anyone changes their estimated grade. Thank you by the way for all of your responses. Report this Post to the Staff
Diy89Nurm7 Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 02/01/2021 3:56 pm I am tempted to say MS63 due to spots. Am I being too harsh? Stay well, Diy89Nurm7 Report this Post to the Staff
kgenks New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 02/02/2021 2:41 pm Hello. I think I got a good picture that demonstrates the coin's luster. I am including the new photos along with the originals. Let me know what you think! Thanks again. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19968 Posts	Posted 02/02/2021 3:05 pm MUCH BETTER! Just discard those first pictures. 65/66RD, the strike issues hold it back for me. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 02/02/2021 3:51 pm Again, much better with the pics . I'll bump mine to MS64, possible 65 Report this Post to the Staff
kgenks New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 02/02/2021 4:22 pm Great. Your responses are a good guide for estimating the grade of some of the other coins I have or will have in the future! Report this Post to the Staff
