I'll lead off with EF-40 despite a weakish obverse strike.

XF40+ for me. Nice example.

WOW! That's a stunner!  KILLER strike for the issue. I've seen many MS examples that are far worse than this coin. There's just a little wear - not much at all. It'd be really interesting if it had any cartwheel action under the brown. Generally, the 20's cents are pretty dull in that department. My first impression was mint state BN. Rub in the top of the left wheat lines. Looks to be rub on jaw, cheek, lapel and shoulder. Honestly, I had to go all the way to the rims - which show some signs of circulation. This is a VERY DIFFICULT issue for Lincolns. I consider the 24-S to be nearly as poorly made as the 1922-D. In many ways, the minting problems were even worse. BEAUTIFUL COIN!

Strong piece with very little wear. I agree the BadThad's comments but will go with an AU50 if submitted to a top TPG. |

This issue is SOFT across the board. Finding a well struck example that's not completely worn out is very difficult. On coins that are very difficult to grade (not due to pictures) like this one, I have to look at the rims. There are only a couple of small hits that I can see - an indication that the coin saw little circulation. With a TPG, the worst case would be VF-35. That's a fair technical grade. However, if the TPG knows the issue (which all the pros probably do) and the coin has eye appeal, I'd expect an AU grade. I'm betting this coin looks great in hand. |
