Just picked up at Long Beach Coin Expo for my Dansco. That is not a scratch above the 1 but a small mark on surface. Here goes.   swcoin.ecrater.com

It's got a nice blueish pink tone and tons of luster.

They didn't. I graded it and purchased it based on the price offered. He had a 1918 that had a beautiful rose tone and tons of luster I would have purchased if it did not have a huge rim ding  swcoin.ecrater.com

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. When I walked past this guys case, I saw it, kept walking, and turned around for another look. It jumped out at me compared to the other Lincolns he had. I normally don't wander the bourse floor saying to myself "If it's there when I come back, I'll get it". It's usually gone. It was there and now he's mine  swcoin.ecrater.com

LOL! As hot as Lincolns are at the shows, you'd better buy it while you have a chance. Every show the past six months I find myself competing with other Lincoln collectors. They are there hogging up the front of the high-end case and sitting down with the boxes of nicer stuff....I return the favor whenever possible. LOLOLOL This last show I made it to my fav dealer first thing, pulled up a chair right in front of his high-end case. I went through every single Lincoln he had in there (100+)...can't tell you how many guys came and went after trying to look over my shoulder. Sorry, it was MY turn!

It could the pics but this coin looks like it was re-toned.
As it is, it's got great details and a shot at MS65RB. As Thad noted - it's a MS64BN on it's worst day!
