Caddis Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 12/30/2022 4:22 pm I want to bounce this coin off of people with experience. What grade do you think this Penny would fall under? Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19158 Posts	Posted 12/30/2022 4:52 pm Nice die cracks on the reverse. A hint of woody on the reverse too. Given the look of the posted pics, it appears the coin may (may...) have been cleaned some time ago. Others will be along to weigh-in. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 12/30/2022 5:25 pm What is above Lincoln's head below the D and also the left of the T? Looks like a nice slider that could grade MS63BN. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/30/2022 6:30 pm Tough call. I'll say AU-58. Report this Post to the Staff
Caddis Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 12/30/2022 7:03 pm I checked and it looks like it was lint. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 12/30/2022 10:17 pm 13S is a tough pull in Unc. This coin worries me. The obverse is exceptionally sharp for a 13S, particularly the date, which is almost always mushy, and IGWT is also exceptionally sharp. For a coin so sharp, the complete absence of luster is also worrisome. I can't say why precisely but it feels "off" taken as a whole.

Caddis Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 12/30/2022 10:26 pm Thanks for the feedback. Admittedly the photo is not great and makes it flat. Here it is next to a well worn wheat. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 12/30/2022 10:28 pm Yeah, that new photo is a great improvement. I'll go with Uncirculated as I see no signs of wear. The die cracks are an added bonus. I don't know if it's been monkeyed with, though, as far as the surfaces go.

Caddis Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 12/30/2022 10:34 pm Thanks. How do I determine if the surface has been altered? Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 12/30/2022 11:02 pm Hard to tell by photos alone. I'm less concerned about the coin now that I have seen your more recent pics.

Send to ANACS,but the value needs to be on a MS coin to really justify all costs involved in sending it in.http://m.numismedia.com/cgi-bin/coi...de2=pricesms John1 Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 12/31/2022 11:12 am Well your first image of obverse does look a little off . And from that image it looks like it was lightly cleaned some time ago . The second photo shows some life to the coin . Well anyway nice reverse die cracks . Strike is right up there on both sides but the color haunts me . IMHO, MS-64 Details . Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36745 Posts	Posted 12/31/2022 12:36 pm Looks AU-58 to me. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18665 Posts	Posted 12/31/2022 1:21 pm I'm not seeing any signs of circulation. the lack of full luster on a coin at this level tells me one of two things. one, it was lightly cleaned or two its not as high as MS64 MS64(details) or MS63 straight. I think the only way to tell for sure is to rotate the coin. if it was lightly cleaned I think it would pass. I'm leaning towards MS63. color is tough on this one due to glare I'm going with BN. in any case this is a nice 13S Report this Post to the Staff
