Pretty excited about it, but don't know what happened to my camera as I can't seem to get a decent picture of it. If you can manage a grade, go for it, but if not, I totally understand. The spot is much less noticeable in hand.

It can't be disregarded as any coin grading service will take it into consideration. Nice coin, including the spot. Spotting is common in Lincolns. As long as there isn't any verdigris you are ok. __________________   04-20-2009, 11:42 PM   #4 (permalink) the_man12 Amateur Photographer     Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Illinois Posts: 2,957 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by Harryj Nice VDB, A little spot before the "in" on the obverse.

I edited my post. No verdigris on this beauty. __________________ 20th Century Uncirculated Whitman Type Set Folder: 32/37 (86.5%)   04-20-2009, 11:49 PM   #5 (permalink) Harryj Supporter**   Join Date: May 2008 Posts: 1,931 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by the_man12 I edited my post.

Again Nice coin! __________________   04-21-2009, 08:44 AM   #6 (permalink) mark_h Numismatist     Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 7,472 Nice coin! __________________ the other mark 2nd Annual CoinTalk Fundraiser: Official Thread!
