Drsandman2 Pillar of the Community United States 1374 Posts	Posted 06/15/2011 01:45 am First post here on the grading forum! This cent is from a fantastic collection from 1939 in Whitman boards. There is a thread in the classics section. Any how, I have had some difficulty grading LWCs using the PCGS photograde. I noticed that the bust in photograde seems higher grade in Fine than Very Fine. It has better definition in the collar and hair than the VF that they display. http://www.pcgs.com/photograde/#/Lincoln/Grades This particular coin has high wear on the bust, but seems to have a higher grade on the rest of the coin. What do you all think? My guess is FINE! Thanks! (If you get bored, check out my unanswered post on my 3c silver) Edited by Drsandman2 06/15/2011 01:50 am Report this Post to the Staff

acloco Pillar of the Community United States 3540 Posts	Posted 06/15/2011 01:54 am Believe your grade is "spot on"! Thank you for sharing the hoard of original coin collecting boards. Definitely a VERY collectible find on their own. Report this Post to the Staff
Drsandman2 Pillar of the Community United States 1374 Posts	Posted 06/15/2011 01:56 am acloco, Thanks for taking a gander and your contributions! The dull points on this coin, I think, take away from the sharpness of the strike. Edited by Drsandman2 06/15/2011 01:58 am Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19963 Posts	Posted 06/15/2011 8:39 pm No cheek/jaw separation, therefore F12. I'd probably send that to NCS-NGC for conservation and grading. There's a couple verdigris spots that should be addressed ASAP. Whatever you do, DO NOT attempt to conserve the coin yourself. This is one best left to the professionals. Lincoln Cent Lover!
