1913-D PCGS slabbed Imagine how much better I would like this without the stripes? :devil: NOTE: If you don't vote in the poll, your vote will not be counted
63+1... 64. I worry more about my method when applied to pcgs than ngc,,, seems like I get burned less often when applying to ngc. Think I'll only use my method on one of these two submission this week and see if I can't manage to miss them both :devil:
I wanted to give a 65 though i hit a 64. *Dick, I owe you an apology, i am at the airport right thinking what I had to do or what I forgot to do and I forgot to mail the coin out:/ I feel like a jerk, I guess I should turn around and go home
MS-64 RB. Not the best grader so I went with everyone else said. But judging the spots on the reverse, would those be circulation spots?
Tough coin to grade. Obverse very clean. Reverse has issues. I guessed the obverse took the day and the coin graded 64.
This coin exhibits a toning pattern you will often see called "woodgrain" or a "woodie", Woodgrain toning is very common on IHC's and early Lincoln's. As I understand things, it is because of the way the copper is alloyed then rolled. While this is common in the early years, it seems to me to tail off in later years. What year does woodgrain end?
As far as I can figure, it did not end until 1983, but you are correct. They get rarer as the years go by.
Another wood grain that I don't know what to say about. I would probably go 64 in hand, but those spots are kind of annoying. However, there are not any other annoying ticks. Anyone else notice the filled in "S" in TRUST?
