Personally I think it's at least a 65, but I could be off. __________________ 20th Century Uncirculated Whitman Type Set Folder: 32/37 (86.5%)   07-05-2009, 10:42 PM   #2 (permalink) BadThad Lincoln Cent Crazed     Join Date: Feb 2009 Posts: 1,308 Hard to grade gem MS coins from such small pictures, but it looks to be at least 64. __________________ Lincoln Lover! http://verdigone.com   07-06-2009, 08:23 AM   #3 (permalink) rlm's cents Numismatist     Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Oklahoma Posts: 6,874 My Mood: I cannot see much more than Thad.

How can I enlarge it without making it really blurry? __________________ 20th Century Uncirculated Whitman Type Set Folder: 32/37 (86.5%)   07-06-2009, 11:51 AM   #5 (permalink) Boss Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: Out West Posts: 1,132 My Mood: The man12- do you have the coin in hand? Take digital macros photos- close ups. I think it's a 65ish as I see very few probelms. Excellent toning __________________ “Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace.” —James Madison   07-06-2009, 12:40 PM   #6 (permalink) Mark Feld Rare coin dealer     Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: San Diego Posts: 1,744 Based on what I can see in the images, my guess would be MS65RB or possibly MS66RB. Hopefully you aren't going to spend money to have it graded.   07-06-2009, 12:46 PM   #7 (permalink) tmoneyeagles Indian Buffalo Gatherer     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: San Antonio Posts: 7,323 My Mood: Here is as big as I could make them without them getting completely blurry. I'm with the 65 crowd, but not worth getting graded. EDIT: Didn't really get it that big..

If you only see a couple tiny ticks with the naked eye, id send it to PCGS. They are worth alot in ms66rd! I sent a 1954 and it came back ms65, if it made ms66 it would be worth so much! Even an ms65 is worth alot, but much less than ms66   07-10-2009, 02:38 AM   #14 (permalink) Arizona Jack The Lincoln-ator     Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Dry Heat USA Posts: 6,781 My Mood: From those pics it looks pretty gemmy, a nice BR or RB. I imagine it has some of that nice blueish toning...... __________________ W.I.N.S / ANA / SLCC / Mesa Coin Club I am a poker player ..."thats beyond trailer trash" Joan Rivers on Celebrity Apprentice, 4/09 Hot Sauce Fanatic !!!   07-10-2009, 12:56 PM   #15 (permalink) donnyb Member   Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: North Alabama Posts: 109 The coin from the small picture looks as it has been whizzed(cleaned)   Page 1 of 3 1 2 3 > Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
