I found what I think is a mint coin. I'm thinking it should be graded higher than EF-40. Lincolns jaw and cheek bone are nicely detailed. The wheat on the back are all perfectly visible including the lines. The coin is a brownish color. What do you think?   |

Can't tell from the images but your EF40 estimate sounds good. It is unlikely to be a mint state piece but could be AU.
The '12-S Lincoln is a very nice date to have too!

Need better pictures but that coin looks pretty awesome from what can be seen.
Worth a pretty penny so to speak.

Personally, I agree with you Mike and think this should remain in the classic section since it is a wheat; but most would disagree with me. :-) That's an amazing coin to find laying around, and agree with bherring that it's probably in the XF-AU range.

I'm grading them MSA-8 cause I certainly can see a fine wheat line or a booger in Lincolns nose.A real pic could certainly change my thoughts on this. I do know my Lincolns boogers. This one has the jaw bone and the cheek bone as you said Mike, it's different as a biggie.I would say Mike, In a really good auction, that coin would bring 3 cents easy.

It's hard to tell from the pics, but from what I can see, I'm confident this coin would grade at least XF. I appears to have very nice color.

The pics are a little blurry, but that coin looks to me like it has some circulation wear. It's in great shape though - XF to AU - and that is a pretty tough date. It's nicer than the one I have in my 12-S slot!

Do you have anything constructive to say or just worthless jibberish? |

Mike, you need a tripod or atleast find a way to stabalize the camera. No one could tell from your pics. Your lighting looks decent.

Even though the pics are completely out of focus, it looks to at least EF and maybe AU.

Strange everyone else seems to have completely skipped the point that even with the blurry images it is pretty obvious that coin has been through some scrubbing and wouldn't grade at all. If it has pretty good detail, I'd probably net it to VF and get rid of it.
