What do you think it grades? Give it a shot. I like some of the darker gold - you look enough you will see some like this. And I do not consider myself an expert - I tend to under grade gold.
And you would be a little low - just a tad. I am not very good at running guess the grades. Anyway - when I look at PCGS photograde I can see where they get the grade, but that does not exactly line up with my with my ANA books. This one really attracted my attention cause of the color - I really liked it. I kept looking at it and some others and finally decided I wanted it. Honestly maybe an older PCGS holder it would have been a 45, but I'll take it as it is. I just hope the color is just like the pictures.
1958 Proof Lincoln (PCGS PR66RB). About as much color as you'll find on a PCGS graded Proof Lincoln. Obverse is not nearly as pretty (a bit spotty) but shows the same colors around the rim only.
Funny you should say that because the 1925 D (first one) was the coin I had picked out after viewing many lots. The 1914-D was the impulse. Thanks for your kind comments.
So true, and if one gets addicted to anything there is no better addiction to have than coin collecting.
