1920's Lincolns, MS63-67. Put them in order.

Looks like rlm guessed most accurately before the hints. Three out of five. But then rlm's somewhat of an expert at grading Lincolns so the bar was high for him. Kudos!

swhuck also got 3 of 5. Very cool!

Here are the answers:

MS67 - 1926 (cert 06675960)
MS66 - 1927 (cert 13511565)
MS65 - 1922-D (cert 02104399)
MS64 - 1925-D (cert 05890271)
MS63 - 1926-D (cert 18231265)

Guesses were low for the '22-D and high for the '26-D. Oddly, the '22-D is in an OGH and the '26-D is in a Secure Plus holder.

Personally, I think the '26-D should be 64/65RB, not 63RD. And the '22-D I'd grade a 64. It has a much prettier look in hand with gorgeous luster and a bright red and silver color. So perhaps it was market graded with a bump for eye appeal. Flaws look big in photos and few can be seen in hand.

The 1926 Philly and '25-D came by way of Andy Skrabalak at Angel Dees. He has a spectacular eye and wonderful coins (priced accordingly...ugh). The 1927 crossed cleanly from NGC several years ago.

Thanks again for playing. Anyone like Peace dollars?

I LOVE Peace dollars!!

 

Thanks Lance. Yep, I've got a Peace sitting at NGC waiting for grading right now.

 

See! I knew I would regret not agreeing with rlm on that 26 cent.

 

If I am such an expert (Ha!), you need to resubmit that 26-D. There is no way that is a 63 unless it has no luster at all.

 

Very rare to see a 1922d that nice, esp the reverse! That's a real prize!

 

Here are a couple 1922-D's with nice reverses, but there is one on site somewhere (I cannot locate at the moment) that puts these to shame. If someone remembers, let me know where it is.

BTW, this is not in any way to demean lkeigwin

 

You just proved it. Or at least proved we're on the same page.

I did resubmit that '26-D. I figured it wasn't smart financially because it would go 64RB, about the same value. But it came back '63RD again. Hmm. Luster is fine, not stunning. Tiny, tiny scratch in front of Lincoln's face?

Okay, let's do it with Peace dollars. New game thread started.
Lance.

 

Here's a '26-D PCGS 64RD, FWIW.
Lance.

 

Darn, I missed this one.

 

Me too! NICE COINS!!!!!

 

Interesting results.

1922-D 8 grades for MS-63 one for 65 Consensus MS-63 PCGS MS-65 Someone is way off
1925-D 1 grade for 63, 3 for 64, 3 for 65, 1 for 66, and 1 for 67 Consensus MS-64 PCGS MS-64 Consensus agrees but got grades at all levels
1926 1 grade for 64, 1 for 65, 1 for 66, 6 for 67 Consensus MS-67 PCGS MS-67 No argument but some of the guesses came in after the hint.
1926-D 3 for 64, 3 for 65, 2 for 66, and 1 for 67 Consensus 65 PCGS 63 Did they see something we didn't? (although the 25-D and 26-D both had 3 votes for 64 and 65 I gave the 26-d the higher consensus grade because it had more higher votes)
1927 2 for 64, 1 for 65, 5 for 66, and 1 for 67 Consensus MS-66 PCGS MS-66 No argument but some of the guesses came in after the hint. vote distribution seems to indicate it may be a low end 66 or maybe an overgraded 65.
