My guess was going to be MS 66 but I was debating hedging down to MS 65. Looks relatively clean and lustrous. Great deal that you got on that lot!
MS 62 ...given it's a better date and there are plenty of marks/hits (especially on the face), I'm going conservative
Rattlers are more common unless it's the first generation white label (all of them start with 108 in the cert number but not all 108s are white...
Mostly yes. Some people like collecting the holders/stickers. There is some merit to having an early piece of grading history. Most people don't...
And here is another currently on eBay (not mine) that is again similar to the pictured example but in a details holder. It is listed at $45 plus...

I would definitely not crack this coin out. I doubt it's a 68 (which is the minimum needed to make money at the price this ended at). The more...

Thank you! One quick note: I did not submit this coin (not sure if that is a hint or a distraction:p).
Any other guesses...reveal will be sometime this evening
It's been a while, so here is another ddddd guess the grade. Please use the poll and see if you can figure out if there is anything unusual...
There is a group of collectors that value toned top pop (or close to top pop) brown Lincolns. They are building an entire set in brown and will...
Looks nice!
Congrats!
It does impact the search order for those that search by "newly listed" (does not matter for the "best match" or other types). When you list an...
MS 63
Congrats! It's a nice set and fortunately for those buying now, the price is basically the same today as when it was issued ($100). The Enhanced...
