Yes it is. But there are also small hairline scratches over the entire surface of the coin. With experience you can learn to see this at a glance....
In order - EF The Lincoln appears to be at least MS64/65. But on the reverse there is a spot on the steps of the memorial. I can't tell in...
Not a chance. That's easy, I do what I always suggest other collectors do - I subscribe to Coin World & Numismatic News and read them...
