I strongly recommend NCS for this coin. ANACS is a little...funny at the moment. Their grading is odly inconsistant and they are very hesitant to make the close call on a coin like this in the submitter's favor. I just think you have a much better chance of getting it called a proof (if it is one) at NCS than at ANACS. Lange grades/authenticates for NGC/NCS, so that is where I would send it if it were mine.

Additionally, you would be leaving a lot of money on the table if you were to send it to ANACS, IMO.

 

Lange is at NCS/NGC?
I just sent a 1914-D to ICG and they were freakin brutal, XF-40. I would have put money on 50, but oh well. I'm not a cracker outter, but $300 is $300.

 

I just would love to see it come back as authentic from ANACS. Wouldn't it be funny to see if they graded it with no defects. I have never felt so right about a coin and I have looked at thousands of mint state 09 P vdb's. If it doesn't come back I will send it off to NCS and see what they say but man this little coin is taking my wallet for a ride. =)

 

Hey man, just curious, how did you come across this coin? Dealer or someone?

Neither the edges nor the surface texture/fabric lead me to believe that the coin is a Proof.

 

If you paid $300 for an XF-40 1914-D Lincoln Cent, then I think that you are doing pretty well. But, having a coin severely undergraded is never pleasing.

By the way, I don't believe the coin is a proof either

 

LOL, I wish I had paid $300, what I meant to say was I'll crack it out and get it to NGC for the AU grade and a $300 higher value.
