WOW! One of the better conservations I've seen. That's a night and day difference!
Got better pics? I'm not buying into the "cleaned" by PCGS!
I'd go 66BN on that coin, it's nice.
I think I see some luster. Now, I could only tilt it. LMAO :p
Tough call....booming luster.
I'm surprised they didn't ding it. I think that's a WG66 still. :)
I keep getting a gut feeling NGC is going to knock this to 64...or if they really hated it, 63. One of many reasons I prefer PCGS for Lincolns.
I wouldn't call it a "weak strike", more accurately, some of the design elements are weak or, in some cases, non-existent with a grease filled...
I don't remember what you posted last week. LMAO!

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.
