My 1909-S VDB... You VS PCGS

Bought this beauty from my dealer a few weeks ago, he bought it raw and submitted it to PCGS. Guess the grade and then I'll tell you what I'm considering doing.

1) AU-58, BN


2) Crack it out.

 

I will guess 53.

 

Au-55

 

ms 63bn

 

What's the white mark on the "E" in cent? Is that on the plastic or the coin?

 

I'm going to say AU-53BN

 

MS-62BN...nice surfaces

 

AU-55 - nice coin!

 

65 bn

 

Dang, I was hoping to resubmit for 63, but after so many people thought it was only au, maybe I'll just hold onto it. I love the coin regardless, I just hate the "in-between" grade of 62.

 

ms 65 bn

 

as long as it gets 62 money, I wouldn't care in the least

 

I think it could be a MS62. I don't really see anything that looks like wear.

 

Very nice! There's something about a brown high-grade early Lincoln that is just so genuine and appealing. Enjoy it as it is. It's lovely!

If you are really interested in a professional opinion about its grade and likelihood of being undergraded, arrange to have CAC look it over. If it comes back with a gold sticker you'll know it is at least a grade too low. Green? Nice and solid for the grade. No sticker? Well...no charge!

Based on what I see in the photos, I'm really surprised that it got an MS grade. I see a clear color change on the cheek bone and jaw that look like luster breaks to me. It it was a strike issue, the color change wouldn't be present. Maybe its an artifact from the photo however...the only way to truly judge a coin is in hand.

 

Where are the series# and coin# on the PCGS label. Is this an older PCGS slab?

Does anyone know what year this label is from?
