I'm not very good at grading. So I'm going to start trying to get the hang of it. Here's my 1909 VDB Lincoln Cent.   The text is in good shape, but the features of lincoln's face is just not as apparent. So I'm afraid that's going to knock it down a bit. From my observations, I would take a guess and say... VF30? or would it be VF20? |

From one Mike to another, This one seems kind of tough, and here's why. The obverse is well worn to AG-03 (About Good), BUT! the reverse has decent wheat lines. Possibly a G-06 reverse. In my opinion a a G-06 would be pushing it. I would hav eto say AG-03 all the way. I think you might like this link. It gives you some where to start when learning how to grade coins. http://www.pcgs.com/Photograde/I dont think this coin would hit VF Edited by MIKES3

I'm not sure I see separation of cheek bones, so I would give it a Fine.

Thats a nice link... Looking at that, I would probably change that to a VG8 or 6.. Definitely not an AG03 though..
