    If there's luster, I'm gonna guess MS63. If not...maybe AU55-58? Really tough to tell! It looks like an interesting coin. Was it struck through anything?

    In hand, I was almost convinced it was MS, but the picture shows the rubs well. What I and the picture missed is the cleaning. I just do not see it.

    Got better pics? I'm not buying into the "cleaned" by PCGS!

    Is the lighting slightly different on those. I guess it depends on the look you are going for, but the conservation seem to take away some of the depth and richness of the toning. Do you find that to normally be the case when using it on toned Lincolns?

    The lighting was the same but the angle was changed slightly.

    Actually, the conservation added much depth to the coloring. The original coin was dead brown with the brassy color. Now there is lots of orange-brown, red-brown or whatever you call those colors.

    I would say the coin looks MUCH more natural after conservation. Plus he got rid of that nasty spot of verdigris that was eating away at the coin. Before, that coin wouldn't have a chance of grading, but I certainly believe it would slab now.

    Here is one I got recently. I really don't know about it. Is it unc? My guess is yes. Has it been cleaned? has it seen MS70? Regardless, I will keep it.

    Actually, in hand MOST of the time it looks absolutely normal - at least as far as a woody looks normal.
