Looks like there are already two that had grading requests on this page so you guys are probably burned out on grading these, but I just got this today and I'm wondering what anyone thinks  I'm guessing it's just a shade under MS but I mostly bought it for the yellow, orange, and pink toning (you can kind of see in the pic.) All advice appreciated.   |

A lovely coin and the delicate toning just sets it off! I have go agree with the others. I give it a MS 65 even though it looks almost like a matte proof in many ways.

I never get tired of looking at these! That is one NICE example with superior eye appeal. That coin is easily MS65RB.

 The coin is beautiful and screams MS but Isn't that wear on the left wheat stalk. |

Wow, I certainly didn't expect opinions saying MS65. I don't even specialize in Lincolns so I suppose I happened onto something nice by dumb luck! Thanks all. About the wear on the wheat, in my inexpert opinion I don't see any wear on the left but I could see how someone could say the tip of the right is missing the wheat lines. That's probably the fault of my image editing software though, some details were lost when I shrunk the image to fit the screen. Here's an uncompressed image of the reverse:  Well, it looks like Photobucket resized without my permission, must have been over some size limit. Guess we'll have to settle for not-as-compressed rather than uncompressed. Hopefully this picture is a little better. Edited by 42t

What you are seeing on the right wheat lines is not wear from circulation. That is most likely due to a weak strike or maybe die wear. Whatever the cause, it came from the Mint that way. That is one fantastic looking specimen. You should be proud of it!  |

I agree with CWB although I suspect it's an artifact of the photography. I've seen it many times where the camera shows poor definition on the wheat lines...it happens. This is no doubt an MS coin.
