63+2 ms65 rd

 

Scratches+luster = 64

 

wow... all those scratches will prevent this from going above 64 :devil:

 

Boy! Oh boy! Does that sound familiar.

 

lol
66

 

probably got a 66 knowing RLM however I believe it should get a 64.

 

66

 

Die polish lines, but lots of luster. 67

 

Not all, but most all on the reverse.

Sorry. I missed this yesterday.

 

These two will be ending tomorrow. See http://www.cointalk.com/t123573/

 

I've been voting according to how I think the TPG would grade (high). I can't for the life of me see how ANYBODY could grade this one higher than a 64 for any reason. No offense to the coin, its owner, or anyone else...

IMO Lincolns get waaaaay too much slack. They say the eyes are the first to go...

 

I am not sure what to say about this one except it has all the luster you need. The lines are a lot less obvious in hand. I really don't see a big problem with this coin being a 66, but I don't know just how to handle those lines.

 

Lone 67 guess.....it's a nice coin. I was hoping to make a move up on this one, oh well.

 

I've lost all remaining faith in PCGS's ability to properly grade Lincoln cents. With that said, I'm dropping out of any future voting. Thanks RLM. This has been very informative and I appreciate all the time and effort you have dedicated to this.

 

Because we agreed in another thread....

I strongly disagree. Die polish lines are generally parallel. However, if the one doing the polishing rotates the die while polishing, they will criss-cross. This coin is an example thereof, IMO.

Have fun....Mike
