1912 S Lincoln off to NGC. What does it grade?

I'm going to say MS65RB.

I have one like it, but not graded. I think it's a 65. Nice coin.-O)

 

I'm with Thad in thinking I see a fingerprint. 65RB. Nice coin. I'm curious, why NGC though?

 

I am in the NGC MS-65RB with minor fingerprint. Very nice coin.

 

I'm gonna say MS 65 RB because the strike is superb and the luster is there and with no large spots or hits in focal areas. Its a great coin, but I can see them 4ing it and a 6 is always too much to hope for and I think they will see that it is a nice coin and put it in a 5 holder and be safe. Cross the fingers for a six!

 

64 rb is my guess but can see a 65.
Good luck with it Matt.

 

ncg, probably 65
pcgs, probably 64

 

if thats the case I will go 66 - best of luck!

 

(almost) One hundred year old coin in that condition is amazing. Where has it been hiding. Previously graded (in a holder)?

 

MS64 due to the distracting finger print at 10 o'clock on the obverse.

 

HAHAHAHA! Nice.

 

I'll guess 66RB. Nice cent.

 

A very nice 66. Is that a teeny tiny lamination between the U & S of pluribus?

 

I get the question a lot about why I send coins to NGC versus PCGS. My numismatic mentor is the father of an NGC finalizer and the uncle of an NGC grader, both of which used to work for him. Knowing what I learned and knowing that this is the same thing they learned makes me feel more comfortable sending my coins to that company. I don't get any special treatment of course but since I feel that I have the same knowledge base coming from the same teacher that I have a better chance that the coin will grade what I think it should by sending it to NGC versus PCGS. If later I feel like the coin needs to be in a PCGS holder... I can always send it in for crossover service.

 

Ms-65rb+

Matt Friend &family contact do help.I'D go with Ngc you always send to Pcgs later.:kewl:

 

Is the color in the pics accurate? The hue looks "off" to my eye for a Lincoln.

Assuming the color is fine, I think a grade of 64 or 65 is likely, with a leaning towards the latter (in RB).

 

As accurate as I could get them... There is a halo of very pastel bulls-eye toning around the obverse edge... I tried and tried to get a pic of it... but I was unable to.

 

Color look right (i.e. natural) to you, Matt?

 

I like that. Always good to hear those personal reasons.

I say 65RB
