BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19951 Posts	Posted 07/23/2023 6:26 pm Not much I can do on certain coins. An airtite seems to help a little. When the luster and surfaces are very reflective it over saturates my camera CCD no matter what I do with the light (proofs are a real challenge for me). Consequences of using a very old camera. For this coin, no worries, you're not missing anything, it's perfect - they don't come much better than this coin. Lincoln Cent Lover!

CherryPicker1 Pillar of the Community United States 646 Posts	Posted 07/23/2023 10:29 pm Looks like there's big hit right above VDB, if it weren't for that and whatever's above "ONE" on the reverse then I could see it going MS68. Report this Post to the Staff

CherryPicker1 Pillar of the Community United States 646 Posts	Posted 07/25/2023 7:36 pm @panzaldi You're right, the lighting just made it look much sharper to me than how it normally comes off on the design. It's difficult to say without having the coin in hand, but it looks a good bit nicer to me than the PCGS MS67 examples shown on their website. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19951 Posts	Posted 07/27/2023 5:30 pm Again, not my coin, grospoison sent this for me to get my opinion. It's a very, very solid 67 IMO and may go higher. It's a stunner in hand! Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19158 Posts	Posted 07/27/2023 5:44 pm As noted, pics aren't optimal. With that, I'd say the coin falls in the MS66-67+ range. Rim shows some form of issue below the bust (obverse). Does look like a nice example. Report this Post to the Staff
