afernbaugh Valued Member United States 263 Posts	Posted 02/04/2009 7:18 pm I just bought this coin on ebay today after looking for over two months. Let me know your thoughts on the grade. It was purchased raw so I don't have a documented grade. Thanks for your help. Image: 1909SObv.jpg 38.25 KB Image: 1909SRev.jpg 89.48 KB Regards, afernbaugh Report this Post to the Staff

desertgem Pillar of the Community United States 860 Posts	Posted 02/04/2009 8:30 pm Hi Alan, Rather hard to see the surfaces for some reason, dark photo or scan, flat? I would temporarily put it at EF with maybe some "junk/verdrigis" around the lettering. I know you haven't got it yet, so maybe have to wait. Jim Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 02/04/2009 9:41 pm I saw this coin on ebay and I think you did well. It has a shot at AU for sure. My grade would be AU50 based on the dark pics but I'm a little concerned about the reverse ding at 6:00. The contamination on the reverse should be removed and BadThad's Verdi-Gone would likely do the trick. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19931 Posts	Posted 02/04/2009 10:16 pm The pics are dark and small, tough to grade from. However, the wheat grains indicate an AU coin. With better pics, it could possibly fall to EF-45. One thing for sure, it's a very attactive coins based on those pictures. Lincoln Cent Lover!
