Will this one slab?

Going through my 1910-'s (see also http://www.cointalk.com/forum/t34312-32/), I ran across this one again. The more I look at it, the more I like it. As wild as my pics look, the coin is probably wilder. I doubt that PCGS would grade it, but would NGC? Any comment about the grade also welcome.

might be an ANACS special... I dont think the top 2 would grade it. How dark are those dark spots?

 

I have doubts:

read as AT.

 

The spot are pretty much the color you see or maybe a little bluer. They are not spots as carbon spots, but just spots of color.

 

The spot on the obverse @ 2 o'clock is the one I would be concerned about. Even Lincoln is looking at it!

 

how strong is the remaining luster?

 

Absolutely no problem on the obverse including the "spots" - every one of them. I would not call it "remaining".
It may be a little questionable one the red part of the reverse.

 

if that was in my collection I wouldn't give a hoot if it would slab or not. That is one AWESOME coin!
Very nice RLM!!!

Very Nice coin! The toning looks OK to me.

That coin has spent considerable time in a folder, very nice !!

 

Doug,

You are right. I do.

Too many ticks to be a 67. Wonderful strike - absolutely, but I have several better most notable my 1917- that PCGS BB'ed. 65/66 I could believe.

When you say "fields" are you referring to the obverse of reverse? In hand, I am much more concerned about teh reverse than obverse.

 

I like it RLM.

 

This type toning looks like some sort of dip residue to me. I not real familiar with all the different types of copper toning but going by the pics, don't look right. May look much different in-hand. JMO

 

Doug but what color designation , R , RB ?
Rusty

 

Ther is no way that coin will be red. It is closer to brown than it is red, but I think it will make RB.

 

rlm , love that gold toning in the center ,
Rusty

 

Wow, nice shoulder!

 

I think the strike is wonderful. I don't know how to interpret the toning. Looks like the cents Leeg was posting on post some lincolns. I think you are least likely to get a BB at NGC, but I think both would grade it. Send it in. I am very curious what it would get??
