cwb1877 Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 06/15/2011 04:01 am What do you guys think? It's just a little streaky which seems to be common with 09-S Lincolns. Report this Post to the Staff

Awesome Wally Valued Member United States 176 Posts	Posted 06/15/2011 05:54 am I'm not sure what to make of this one. If I just went by what looks to be some wear on Linoln's nose cheek, and beard, I would give this an XF45. What is throwing me is the surface. I can't tell if the coin is pitted or if that is the coloring of the coin. I will be interested in what the more experienced graders have to say. Report this Post to the Staff
upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 06/15/2011 09:59 am I agree with XF40/45 with a nice die crack on the right wheat ear. The color? MY guess is the photography, metal alloy, or a very old cleaning (dip). Great coin overall! Report this Post to the Staff
SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 06/15/2011 11:32 am I would guess it was cleaned a long time ago and, has re-toned. Nice coin, EF-40. Report this Post to the Staff
eddiespin Pillar of the Community United States 1547 Posts	Posted 06/16/2011 10:24 pm The surface is a little flat for the technical condition the coin is in. I'm not seeing any bounce in that surface, whatsoever. Still, there are any number of reasons that happens, and, the devices, themselves, are in very nice grade. Technically, high EF to low-AU, and the surface could be a little more lively; also, nice die crack. Report this Post to the Staff

cwb1877 Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 06/17/2011 6:48 pm I don't see any luster. I called it an EF40. Maybe I was a bit conservative on it, but in hand the cheek/jaw looks just a bit too flat for an AU grade. I really like it nonetheless! Report this Post to the Staff
