BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 11/08/2009 11:01 pm I sold some gold last week and decided to give Teletrade a try and I'm glad I did. I picked up these 3 Lincolns for very fair prices even with the buyer's premium. All are in recent PCGS slabs. Please comment. First is a 1909 VDB: Next is a 1916: Last is a 1930: ANA #R3154474 Edited by BH1964 11/08/2009 11:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19958 Posts	Posted 11/08/2009 11:24 pm I hate grading through slabs...but...I'll give it a shot. They all look MS-64 RD. The VDB might be a 63, I think I see a few carbon spots. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 11/09/2009 12:04 am Thanks Thad. The VDB went for 63 money but graded a lot higher. I'll post the results tomorrow night. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 11/09/2009 11:31 pm Okay here are the grades: VDB: MS65RB 1916: MS64RB 1930: MS66RD I thought the 1930 should have gone 65 and probably would today because of the reverse hits. The 1916 is as close to full red as any RB I've seen. I did some reading in PCGS' grading guide under MS coins last night and pulled their five criteria: marks, luster, strike, toning and eye appeal. I still think the 1930 benefited from pre-2009 standards being lower. ANA #R3154474 Edited by BH1964 11/10/2009 01:59 am Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19958 Posts	Posted 11/10/2009 11:56 am Now that you posted better pics, I can understand the grading. The 1916 is a darker red, thus the RB. Considering the large hit on the head, the MS-64 makes sense. The 1930 has a nearly flawless obverse, strong luster and great eye appeal. The hits on the reverse aren't enough to over come the quality of the obverse, thus the 66 grade. As for the 1909, with the better pics, I can see why it got a 65....looks pretty much hit-free. The carbon spots don't hold it back much when there's no hits. NICE COIN! Lincoln Cent Lover!
