1918 Illinois...what does it grade?

Hey folks,

I've been wanting one of these for a while and I just haven't found one that tickles my fancy until today. I thought I got a fair price. Just wanted to see what you guys think she would grade. Thanks!

I'll hazard a '64.......looks sweet.

 

I say MS-64 as well. The toning is great. I always liked Lincoln's protrait on this particular commemorative.

 

​Nice coin MS 63.

 

Definitely one of my favorite commems!

I'd guess MS63. The fields look sort of flat and based on the light rim toning I would guess that the coin was cleaned long ago and then put in an album where it started to retone... hard to say w/o seeing the coin in person though. Has an attractive look to it in any case, congrats!!!!

 

Don't know anything about them so I can't help with the grade, but I can say a nice looking coin.

 

That is kinda what I was thinking. Not the best luster so I think the old cleaning and album toning is probably right. The coin is otherwise problem-free and has a clean look with great detail.

Thanks to all for the quick replies!

 

Ms62

 

I give it a B for BEAUTIFUL
