Boy, I'm new at this, but that still looks MS to me.

Unfortunately, Dylansdad, the guys are right. As I posted in the beginning, not quite MS. there is just too much going on with the obverse. Look at the eyebrow. back of the collar and shoulder and you can see abrasion marks. Be it bag wear or what ever, this is enough to drop it out of MS. Still, AU-58 on a 11 yr old coin from circulation, I could not be happier.

Hey, you're the one with it in hand, but I'd attribute what I'm seeing to the frequently seen Lincoln weak strike. I find it hard to believe it's circulated enough to wear, but not discolor it more.

(Sure would like BadThad's opinion.)
