BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19951 Posts	Posted 09/29/2010 11:33 pm It's nearly impossible to accurately grade proofs from pictures in my experience....but I'll certainly guess: 1) PR-63 2) PR-62 3) PR-66+ Lincoln Cent Lover!

DylansDad Valued Member United States 476 Posts	Posted 11/12/2010 3:02 pm Not a lot of variety on the grades on these...all three came back as PR65RD. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19951 Posts	Posted 11/12/2010 7:46 pm Generous grades on the first and second ones IMO. What TPG? Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
Awesome Wally Valued Member United States 176 Posts	Posted 11/13/2010 06:51 am They are all nice looking coins but to me it looks like the third one has more eye appeal than the other two. If I were to cherry pick them, that's the one I would go with. Report this Post to the Staff

Jim1953 Pillar of the Community United States 2600 Posts	Posted 11/13/2010 09:17 am As Thad pointed out, grading proofs from pics is about impossible. The fact that PCGS graded them all 65 enforces the fact. Still, I find it hard to believe that coins one and three are that similar. Jim Report this Post to the Staff
chrsb Pillar of the Community United States 936 Posts	Posted 11/13/2010 6:35 pm must have been PR65 day at PCGS (I can see the grader PR65, PR65, PR65, PR65 oh its lunch time).....the third one definitely looks a grade or two better than the other 2 Report this Post to the Staff
coppertop5150 Pillar of the Community United States 958 Posts	Posted 11/13/2010 9:11 pm the 3rd coin looks the " nicest " at first glance but when you look at the third coin it lacks detail in the beard/face/neck it is a weaker stike then the 1 and 2 2 is very well struck coin lots of detail that last one looks like a nice buss strike so little detail when you look close at the hair /neck/beard face, but proof ? with that lack of detail it must have been on of the last proofs made from the die after alot of polishing Report this Post to the Staff
