Technically, there's no way that's a 65. However, eye-appeal seems to go a long way with TPG's and this coin must have a lot of it.
Goes to show you what you can do with lighting and angles. Strong enough lighting and using angles will cut right through a brown patina.
Looks nicer to me!
I'm still looking! LOL I have two 23-S's, EF40 and VF35 and an AU50 1924-S. I've been content with sharpness so far.
Indeed, non-Lincoln collectors just don't understand our pain. It's a helluv a lot easier to find an S-VDB than nice "common date" coins like that...
Another point, when I either kick the bucket or have to sell due to financial needs, it will be a lot easier on my family or myself. As it stands...
I'll certainly stick to CT. After a recent experience at CU forums, I have to say they are more about emotion than anything and IMO the atmosphere...
Great thread! I've been tossing this around for years and I've decided to sell-off a bunch of coins, proof sets and mint sets. I'm tired of having...

I think you did a nice job at conserving the coin and you've paid your dues to the learning column....it's paid off for you. Your techniques work...
I got mine last week, two of them are disappointing. One has a rather large chatter mark in the right obverse field and another one has a black...
Killer 1919-S, that's a tough coin!
Not an isotope, just a different arrangement of the carbon atoms. Coal, graphite and diamond are different crystalline forms of carbon. Isotopes...
Thanks Boss! It's fun to share, this forum has become one of my favorites.
aaaaahahahahahahaha!
Definate pass, the MM may have been altered. Only buy a slabbed 14D or from a reputable dealer. It's just not worth trying to save bucks with raw...
Thanks guys....I made this tough by using too strong of lighting. Coin picture taking and photo grading is truely an art form.....one that I don't...
Thanks Jack, I guess I should ignore the price guides and feel good about my purchase and the fact the NCG graded a copper coin with color finally...
I see no wear in hand. My local dealer says he see's no wear. I included the angle shots to it was easier to see what I see in hand. Look at that...
