It looks like tarnish. Splotchy toning like this affects eye appeal, but I don’t think it affects grade (would like to be corrected by the more...
I am talking about coins in circulation. ASEs and modern proofs are treated with very high levels of quality control. Proofs specifically are...
I don't think he means that any coin will do at any price. I'm pretty sure Dimedude is looking for one with good eye appeal at a good price, which...
The ding on the obverse in front of the nose and on the neck would preclude this coin from anything above a 64-65 (ultra moderns are graded really...
Negative. Small date logotype matches that of 1872 and 1873. Here's an 1872 I once had, but sold: [IMG] [IMG]

Congratulations!
Mail call again, and this one cost $9. Well worth it though. This is really nice for a 1925-S Lincoln. It looks high AU (dare I be wishful enough...
