MS 67 Abe Lincoln dollar, or lower?

I recently got this dollar, and it's graded as MS 67. I'm learning to grade coins, and it looks to be a lower grade. I was wanting second opinions on if this is sent to PCGS, it would get the same grade

With a new dollar like that an MS67 is a poor grade I would think. I know nothing about these but that one appears to be in pretty good shape.

 

So you think it may be higher, or lower?

Tell me a little about that coin, is it a first day of issue, or from a bulk grade, P or D

 

I am not really sure, I can not see the picture that well. I think there is an issue above the right ear but I can not tell.

 

if thats coins, what I think it is, I can sell it for you, lot of money too, I know someone looking for ms-67, but only in base grade, hows 5000.00 dollars sound, but, it has to be graded by pcgs

 

Rick - you are out of your mind. Get real.

 

no, its true, I sold him 1 for that price, and I know there only 2, at that grade, I know he'll paid 5000.00 for it, I'm sure he doesn't have the other 1, all I have to do is send him an email

this thread on a presidential dollar

 

Re-read the thread title.

 

read the forth post, that should help you out, the rest is all about money

 

I don't have any grading guide for presidential dollars lol... but I think the field alone shouldn't get this better than a 65. MS 67 seems too high.

The devices are nicer than I usually see on circulation issues though. I get rolls of these to pick one out for my presidential dollar album and few have the devices that clean. They almost always get a few scratches on them. This coin doesn't deserve a 67 by any stretch of the imagination lol but at least all its problems are in the fields.

I think PCGS would probably give this a 65 (haven't seen a lot of slabbed president dollars, but I have a slabbed NP quarter about this good graded by PCGS. Back when they were giving them out free to promote their online registry lol. It has more scratches on the devices than this but a better field; my guess is they'd about cancel each other out and give this about the same grade.). Maybe a 66 if the grader was feeling generous that day (like I said, the devices look pretty good, and it's a decent strike. The fields just seem a little too messy though.). I don't think they'd go 67 though.

For a president dollar not from an uncirculated set, this is about as good as I've seen.

 

I think so too, heres a couple of more images, compliments of Charles 1997

 

With those pictures I'd definitely say 65 or 66. 66 is kind of iffy still IMO, but it's at least a 65. However I have seen 65's worse than this one, so 66 is not impossible. The devices are nicely struck and there's almost no marks on them; that will probably count for something.

If you send this to PCGS would love to hear how it came back.

 

According to the PCGS population and price guides there are a total of 32 MS67 examples. This includes both P and D mints and Position A and B.

The only price shown was for the second rarest example with a population of 2, a 2010 -D position B. Price guide is $750.

The rarest with pop 1 is a 2010-D Position A. The 2010-P is the most common with a population of 12 for Position A and 17 for a Position B.

 

I wouldn't send it to pcgs, just keep it the way it is, pcgs is very picky, hard to get a 67 in base grade, with them, first thing I see, is the scratch in the field

 

Pcgs only has 2 total, for P & D, at ms-67, at least for the coin, the thread is talking about
