There's a lot of chatter on lincoln's bust. Can we assume that all marks (especially that profound NE-SW diagonal one on lincoln's cheek) are on lincoln and not the slab?
ms-65rd, i bet the reverse kept it gem bc of how clean it is, but that chatter up and down abes face brings it down imo
Great luster , it's just that one long scratch , and that's probably not too bad in hand , 66 . If it was in a NGC slab a 67 wouldn't surprise me .
LOL hate to ruin the game but I was checking eBay to compare grades. I wont link the listing but this exact coin is on eBay. I was very far off from my estimate.
Yes, there are a couple nicks along with some minute planchet marks left but you really do not see the planchet marks in hand. Remember, this picture is several time the coins original size and graders typically do not use loupes to grade. Nice luster and a nice strike, but just not enough there to go 67. PCGS gave it a 66 and I agree. Yes, Tyler, most of the coins I list here were, are, or will be listed on eBay, but not all of them and very few typically are listed currently, but you found one.
Duke keeps creeping up on Irish2Ice. If he stays active and gets to drop his second score, maybe he can catch Irish2Ice. Otherwise, ldhair and Leadfoot switched positions Irish2Ice 0.297 39 Duke Kavanaugh 0.348 24 ldhair 0.385 27 Leadfoot 0.387 33 BadThad 0.457 48 rzage 0.500 46 mark_h 0.535 45 ddoomm1 0.542 50 pumpkinpie 0.548 33 bahabully 0.600 21
Well one right and one wrong , but considering the people playing I'm happy with 6th . But it would be nice to go on a little run , I still think the '31-S was a 64 though .
