This is a purty one, the images supplied are pretty much how it looks in hand unless your browser colors are off. I only have a handful of Lincolns that I intend to hang onto. This is probably one of them. I wonder what this might grade. Thank you!   Lid is on this image so the scratches are on the 2x2.    Edited by TNG

It's really intersting how the different camera angles show different things. If you had posted only the third picture, folks would come back saying a lower grade. But the angled pictures show the fields to be really nice and clean.
I don't have enough knowledge to grade high MS coins like this. At least MS63, probably 65-66 I'd guess.
That's a keeper for sure!

I'm just learning Lincolns, so I'll be looking for opinions following mine. This is a nice one by any standard; the only mark on either face which draws the eye is the one under LIBERTY. MS-65.

My first guess from the pics was MS64RD. After further review, the strike quality could help it into an MS65 holder. The major TPG are being really tough on Lincolns and a 65 would be a fair grade but either way it's a great coin. |

I was looking at the strike as well. It is huge. Not to mention the superb luster still remaining. A 65RD grade is a definite possibility.
I was just seeing some minute contact marks here and there that PCGS would probably knock down a grade.

This one might be safe since it's 100 years old though. I have taken most of the pictures of the rest last night, I will get them up in this album eventually. Probably within a few days. http://www.coincommunity.org/galler...hp?album=846 |
