Are you going to take care of the "green" on LIB? Very nice coin and color, better than VF, low AU? John1  |

Excellent variety.
Oh so sweet. I agree with John about the grade as well.

Very cool! Looks wayyyyyy nicer than VF. Must not have been an avid Lincoln collector. DDO-001 has gotten much tougher pick now so you caught yourself a nice one!

Thanks for all the kind words! And yeah, I'll probably zap off the bit of green by the LIB. But with three folks agreeing it is low AU I have to question myself. I see absolutely no sign of circulation wear on the coin and it has full luster obverse and reverse. Even the rims are almost without a mark. What are people seeing that puts this at anything other than MS? Yeah, it might go details with the dent on the ear/beard but that does not seem like circulation damage.

I have said I am wrong 20% of the time  I think you need input from someone who specializes in these. I know some years have stronger strikes then others, but I do not know which ones. Whatever the grade it has great eye appeal. John1 |

Thanks mastaplanna! And no, not from my dad's collection, which I actually do have. He grew up post-depression/WWII era and they didn't have money to just set aside coins. But he did collect some things, just lower grade coins that were "old" at the time. So it's a collection with family meaning, not strong on the quality coins part.
