acloco Pillar of the Community United States 3540 Posts	Posted 04/23/2011 7:03 pm I keep looking back at this coin and thread. Beautiful coin, no doubt. If this was a 36 P, would it get the 65 RD grade? I don't think so. One thing that I have to continuously remind myself of, the top of the grading scale is MS70....and start there, not the other way around. Obverse has a hit in the field just to the right of his nose, a minor doink in the cheekbone, and a smudge in the field between Liberty and IN. Reverse has a spot between the right wheat and the rim, a doink on the N of one. Now, go back to when this coin was struck and the state of dies during this time. This is a superb strike. Excellent detail in hair, quite a bit in the beard, superb wheat stocks, and sumptious fields - especially on the reverse. So, overall, this is 65 Red. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19969 Posts	Posted 04/24/2011 01:04 am Quote: Gee, Thad you should be able to buy a couple Corvettes. HAHAHAHA....in my dreams that's my coin. That's outta my league! I have the pictures for the reason Brad posted. I like to save pics of surpreme Lincolns when I run into them....this coin is extremely exceptional for the issue and it tends to challenge the perception of an MS-65RD coin. Acloco - Wheats actually start at 69, there's none graded higher. Apparently the grading standards say it's impossible to have an MS-70 Wheat cent. Lincoln Cent Lover!
