Ca Dreamin Valued Member United States 149 Posts	Posted 01/19/2011 10:19 pm I would say yes to your question-I'm thinking vf-35 Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 01/19/2011 10:25 pm I wouldn't preclude EF-40 but will have to also say VF-35. Nice looking penny! Report this Post to the Staff

Las_Vegas_Larry Pillar of the Community United States 817 Posts	Posted 01/22/2011 9:52 pm I agree VF35. Obverse and reverse perfect 35. Report this Post to the Staff
cperry8483 Valued Member United States 266 Posts	Posted 01/25/2011 11:46 am VF-35. Doesn't there have to be full wheat lines to make EF? Report this Post to the Staff
soccerdad Valued Member Canada 311 Posts	Posted 01/29/2011 12:12 am I would grade this Vf-30 at best. Too much wear on the O and the AM. Also not all lines on wheat showing. If this was in my own collection I would rate it lower as I always grade down if any doubt. Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 01/29/2011 12:56 am I think the O and AM are probably just strike artifacts. I sift through MS rolls all the time and various letters are often weakly struck and, at times, non-existent. (wheat lines can also be poorly struck particularly on the edge facing the rim) Edited by fenton 01/29/2011 12:57 am Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19948 Posts	Posted 01/29/2011 02:36 am Yes, the weakness in the O in ONE on the reverse is NOT wear. It is opposite the high relief shoulder which is why they later (a couple times actually) lowered the shoulder relief on the Lincoln Cent. Lincoln Cent Lover!
