These Lincolns could be worth something in MS... but are they?

No '22 S? what a shame...

Please send in that 21-S just so we can see if it hits a 45

 

You think it's that bad?

 

No, I don't. I think if you submitted it, it would come back as maybe a 53 if you're unlucky, but more likely 55.

You have to remember, the Lincolns from this era were poorly struck in an attempt to lengthen the life of the dies, and that led to a lack of details. This may look like wear... but it isn't.

There ain't no way this coin comes back as a 45.

 

No, someone else did though. I agree with the above, I think it'll likely see a 55. I even went and looked at the 21-S in XF45 on eBay and there's no way it's a 45. If it came back a 45 it wouldn't be worth the price of submission anywhere.

You nailed it!

 

So, what we learned in class today was-
Nana Nana Boo Boo

 

Or that PCGS overgraded my coins?

 

No offense, of course, but I'll go with the above.

 

I guess borderline LWCs are hard to grade from pictures.

 

More like just how inaccurate guess the grade threads are guessing from a single set of pictures. If they overgraded them you're about the only one getting overgraded coins back from them right now

 

I think the first 2 are overgraded, yes. In hand, I assume they look better than the pictures.

 

Should I send in my resume to Ed Wood now? I've never been to Aruba
