Yes, we are all discussing the coin in the OP. This coin is a very special issue in the Lincoln series. If you are familiar with this coin,...
HITS ARE NOT WEAR. Literally the only thing that takes it from MS to AU is wear. Contact marks are fine on an MS coin - they'll lower the grade...
This one is *fun*. I like it!
To clarify further - all cents were minted at Philadelphia at this time. Because Philadelphia was the mother mint, her coins did not have a...
Thanks! It seems that some countries tended to make PL coins more than others. Sweden, Mexico, and Russia come immediately to mind. Here are a...
Yeah, you're right there's going to be a fight. This is an *incredibly* hard coin to grade if you don't understand what you're looking at....
Is there luster on it in hand that we just aren't seeing in the pictures? Because a coin of that grade needs luster. That toning is so thick that...
I too agree with an AU grade on this. As for the toning... this is really difficult. There are some aspects of it that I really like, but there...
Time for the big reveal! NGC called this one 66 PL. There were quite a few votes for 64. 64 is just too low for this coin. I'm not sure if...
No.
It looks perfectly real to me.
Yes, that is an S. The mintmark that year was quite blobby. They redesigned it, but it quickly became blobby again.
Could you describe what you are seeing in a little more detail? Because I don't know what you're talking about. Are you talking about the...
That is a really fascinating story. Thanks!
It is dangerous to think of coins as investments. In terms of value, I think the gold piece is probably a better value. The Jefferson's value...
I'm not sure why you started 2 threads with the same question. And, we really can't tell you anything unless you attach pictures.
What sort of thing do you think you see on this coin? Because I don't see it.
You're not wrong. But I think it applies more to the PCGS registry, since it has historically always been PCGS only. And, the NGC strike...
You'll always find a bidiot who needs that number on the plastic for his registry score.
This is a great, in-depth explanation of the design and review process: https://www.numismaticnews.net/article/ccac-explains-coin-design-process...
