1925-D Lincoln Cent, You Vs PCGS.

Beautiful color on a 65 but for some reason I am noticing a lot of doubling on reverse. Am I wrong in seeing this?

The chatter on the shoulder is from the die ( I am told by a couple professionals) therefore not point deductions. A bonafided hit on the other hand will indeed deduct points . All you have to do is go to the PCGS website site and see graded wheat Lincolns very few have smooth shoulders. Even on the forehead there will be some disturbances. Only pointing out my observations of thousands and thousands of coins on Ha.com and the PCGS website in the last 6 months . For KY, I hope it goes ms-66 or at least 65 . I won't be surprised if it's a 64. Grading the coin in under 30 seconds has me curious. If only a doctor could look at a lump and in 30 seconds say bad or you are okay( although in some instances that can happen). 25 to 75 dollars or more for 30 seconds work is a heck of a profit. Of course not all coins are graded that fast! The TPGS are savvy knowing full well under high magnification something will show up or not attractive enough and the best one is " hey we make mistakes sometimes" nobody is perfect. The TPG'S control the market therefore market graded. Personally I prefer a clean original copper colored Lincoln. It seems a lot of ms-67+ Lincolns have some color to them. I notice a lot of + grades go the coins that have that subtle red toning. In either case KY is putting together a quality set and always love to see what he gets next.

Awesome , it sure is a nice coin!
