I think all 3 of those examples are under graded by at least a half if not a full point. No major contact marks and very clean fields and great details.
Just added this beauty to my NGC Lincoln 1959-Date business strike set. NGC MS69RD 1986 D. NGC has graded 279 examples with only 3 at MS69RD
Here is one for you toner fans. In a modern Lincoln registry set anything other than red usually is not a good thing. I believe in this coin's case the toning is a good thing. NGC MS67*RB 1964 Lincoln Memorial. NGC grades 1 at MS68RD, 11 in MS67RD and 2 examples at MS67*RB with this being one of them. The reverse of this coin is so nice that NGC slabbed it as the front.
this is one of the new batch that I cannot wait for you to do your photo magic on. Waiting on a few more upgrades and the 2014s then I will be sending them your way
Not to ignore the other recently posted coins, but, gijoe, that '86 D made me get out the drool rag. Absolutely gorgeous!
I have to admit, I didn't want to be the first person to say that coin is overgraded, but I completely agree. I like the toning, but that his a huge bump for color.
