First off, welcome to the forum. Stick around. There is a lot to learn. It sounds reasonable, but good luck finding any offers/sales of coins...
I am not a major fan of toning. I like the subtle toning rather that the bright rainbow. AJ's Lincolns are not too bad. Here are a couple...
It looks a lot like this one to me except there is a gash across the middle of the "S" on yours.
Yes, there is some chatter on the shoulder, but I have seen that much chatter on many 66's and even some chatter on 67's. However, there is...
The only thing you could be seeing on the observe as tiny hits would be lint.
Sorry about the pic. In hand, the observe is a nice strike, with all the details showing including a lot of the whiskers on the beard and good...
Absolutely possible. Just look at the 1922 Lincolns. Particularly the weak reverses that may not even have wheat lines visible, but they will...
Is This Pic Any Better? Sorry about the lint.
Here is a Lincoln that may be why ANACS started grading each side separately. Oh! Do I wish that the reverse were as nice as the observe....
Counterfeit? Why? If you mean post mint altered, there is a .005" coating of copper over the entire coin. I do not think that they could do...

Well dah! Sorry, I should have known. I doubt if it is. Here is one that cones closer, but at least the front is not. The one Aj picked up...
Mixing the die pairs would produce die pair #5. Sorry! For all their problems that year, I am sure that they also had grease filled dies to go...
Watch what you say. I won an NES slab from eBay. They are in the same class as TruGrade. It was graded MS65 if I remember correctly or possibly...
Jon, There is no such thing as a weak D for die pair #2. Sorry! Look here - http://www.lincolncentresource.com/1922Ddievarieties.html Still,...
NGC lists their totals. They have actually graded 21 Lincolns AU-58 RED. The also have one listed as pr/ag RB. I have no clue how you get to...
GDJMSP, However, NGC has some AU coins designated RB
So here is another picture of it. Does anyone remember this one?
Just for grins, where is this happening? I am definitely not seeing any price drop in Lincolns.
Actually, they are fairly common. I have won my share on eBay. Just the seller does not know what a cleaned coin looks like. Seriously, I...
