    OK, I hope that this isn't getting annoying because I have asked you guys for grading opinions a couple times in the last month or so (I'm new so hopefully you guys enjoy grading...or at least don't mind). Anyway, I am trying to hone my very rusty/not very good grading skills so you experts opinions would be great.

    Anyway, here is one of my 1909 Lincoln VDB Cents. This is one of my favorite coins in my colletion because of its condition (my other VDBs are much worse).

    So, in an attempt to practice my grading skills I'm going to hedge a guess. I would say AU-50BN (so, probably $5 or $6-I don't have an updated grade/value sheet)-but I could be way off. What do you guys think?

    We collectors always like to grade...its helps us out to keep our grading skills on top!

    I would grade your coin XF45 or AU50....

    Not exactly the clearest photo but from what I can make out it does appear to be in the AU catagory with a possible 50 or even 58.

    OK, well I'm pretty happy with the response that I've gotten but if a clearer photo would help more I will take one and post it a bit later.

    OK, it was mentioned that better photos might help so here are two more I just took-and I think they turned out a lot better.

    Leadfoot there is no spoon

    Looks like a liner XF 45 / AU 50 coin. I'd personally grade it AU 48. :)
