Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 05/10/2010 09:24 am Thanks for grading! Thad, will either of your products help this one? If so, which one? Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19937 Posts	Posted 05/10/2010 11:40 am Looks to be about EF-40 or, at worst, VF30....corroded. VERDI-CARE™ FTW baby! That verdigris spot on the temple would be gone with a little toothpick work. See my VERDI-CARE™ thread in the main forum section. I just conserved a 3-leg buffalo yesterday with a spot almost identical to that one. I can 100% guarantee you could conserve this coin with VERDI-CARE™. Lincoln Cent Lover!

Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 05/10/2010 12:15 pm Thanks! Wasn't sure if I needed VERDI-CARE™ or VERDI-GONE™ (how do you get the little TM?). EDIT: for the little TM, thanks Thad! LOL! Edited by Scooby Due 05/10/2010 1:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19937 Posts	Posted 05/11/2010 09:10 am JHS - You're being far too hard. When a Lincoln has clear separation between the cheek and jaw it's a VF coin. End of story, that's main technical indicator for a VF coin. Also, you're not accounting for the fact that the 1925-S is one of the most poorly struck and problematic issues EVER in the series. The 24 and 25 branch mint coins are some of the worst Lincolns ever produced. You cannot penalize die state as wear, it is not wear. Lincoln Cent Lover!

j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 05/12/2010 08:19 am thad, I dont know if I'm being far too hard...after looking at a variety of 1925S, you may be right. That year was not so poorly struck the wheat ears did not have full lines...but it was very weak. Thus, that there are no lines remaining on the east ear and barely any lines remaining on the west ear and given your perspective on the obverse I'll stand corrected. Here is a picture of a 1925S reverse. The rim is weak. The rim on Scooby's coin is not only weak, it is also well worn. http://www.coinbug.com/Images/Items...3s2r5744.jpg Who doesn't want their coin to grade as high as possible? conundrums: grade too low and we risk undervalue grade too high (like them ebayers)= ridicule. Standing corrected or not, I "MIGHT" pay VF money for that coin....XF money? not a chance. Edited by j_h_s 05/12/2010 08:26 am Report this Post to the Staff
Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 05/12/2010 09:23 am Thanks for all the valuable input, guys. I know grading is subjective, but I'm trying to get the hang of it. Before posting the coin, I figured VF, but getting the numbers down has proven to be a challenge for me. Report this Post to the Staff
