BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 01/03/2009 8:04 pm Here's a TOUGH case to grade! The dies were worn and spaced too far apart IMO. HINT: There's no wear on this coin. I know the cheek looks rubbed, the wheatlines appear worn and this coins had a hard life, but in hand it looks a LOT better than the pictures. I can detect no circulation wear in hand. This is a case where have to decide if strike and die state bring the grade down along with the hits: Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

Although the gouges on Abe's head might render it a no grade, I would grade it AU55 based on the pics alone (w/o hints). Why don't you weigh it and post it's actual weight in grams to the nearest 0.01g? I've got a feeling this planchet might have been a couple grains short of nominal.

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 01/04/2009 8:14 pm I think we suspected we'd get our grading skills handed back to us. Report this Post to the Staff

Not really, the guesses were as I expected, purely technical. You guys did fine given the facts presented. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
