just purchased at auction this mint state, brown lincoln..loved the grainy look, but i am not adept at grading unc brown lincolns, can i get some opinions, please?/ thank you
Your photos leave a lot to be desired. You should crop them to show JUST the coin and post them FULL IMAGE, not thumbnail. I can barely tell the date on the coin without enlarging it. I hope you didn't pay too much and I wouldn't buy such a coin unless it was certified, but that's just me. Post better pictures and let's see what others have to say.
It looks like it might be a woodie. A coinafe from an improper alloy mix. Hard to tell due to your photos.
Spell check, small keys and fat fingers do not mix well. It happens a lot to me. Lol To be honest, I've never heard of a coinafe but my phone recognizes it. Lol
All obverse photos are too blurry to tell, The reverse photo with the clear lines above the wheat indicate it being of at least AU/MS condition. MS66 and above is more than likely out of the picture (I have a MS66RD). Comparing this to my 1937-D MS65RB, I'd say it's probably less than a 65 but higher than a 60. A solid 63 or 64 would be foreseeable. This is solely going off of the reverse photo. In person, it's probably easier to tell.
no wear detectable under 5, 10 and 20 X magnification , i was thinkin 63 or 64 myself, but as i said, not too experienced with the browns..thanks for the help..
well, after studying the coin for a bit, and the remarks here, i am going to call it an MS-64 and be done with it, i appreciate all the input, thanks guys!!
What they meant was crop the image and post it full size. Also, orient pictures the correct way as it's difficult to turn my head 90 degrees. Lol
