Here's a learning coin- When die pressures are slightly off spec (weak) on a Lincoln, you will see weakness in the high points of the design:...
Here's one I have in my collection - angled to capture the toning. :)
San Fran was still working on some problems they had starting in 1920 with quality. All of the coins they produced through the 20's are known for...
Nice, some obvious strike weakness and one hit in front of the forehead, should keep it out of 7 land.
BLAZER! I see what looks like orange peel luster. It should get the nod, beautiful coin that deserves the grade.
I like this coin in a 4 holder, I think 63BN sucks, 63+ or 64 would be more accurate IMO. I see a lot of red below lightly browned surfaces,...
I like it in 7 holder, nice coin.
I've known the owner of this site for years, he's great!
I think I see lots of LDS luster.

Hummm...the link is jacked.
Mildew cannot grow on a coin, impossible. What you likely have is corrosion, aka toning. Silver coins are best treated with an acid-thiourea dip...
Nice 52!!! I agree with CAC...look at that luster! This is a prime example of how a couple of minor ticks mean nothing next to luster glow....
That dark streak on the obverse is a pretty big distraction for the non-wood lovers, I'm surprised they didn't knock it down.....unless is wasn't...
By the pictures, lots of distractions in the fields, subdued luster...it's not very brilliant. I still would grade this a 65 on my scale any day.
I like it as a 66RB.
I bet your slab picture is closer to how it looks in hand. It's a nice coin in a tough issue.
Awesome coin, one of my favorites that I've seen. PCGS did it right, it's a cool coin and it deserves it's grade IMO.
NICE! EDS both sides, very well struck for one of the worst issues. Finding these in MS red is very rare.
This coin was in a friends old, neglected Whitman album.
