<p>[QUOTE="No_Ragrets, post: 26380626, member: 151874"]This one was supposed to be an album upgrade / filler, but I don't think I have it in me to put it in my album! My Lincoln album has certainly seen better days and some of the slides aren't quite "pristine" so putting this into it will almost certainly result in this coin getting those "slide scratches" which I absolutely want to avoid. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think this might get a RB designation (if graded) and I'm guessing something like a MS63 or 64? Honestly, I'm not very great at guessing Lincoln grades. It's a niche that I haven't quite gotten into as much as other types, but I look at PCGS and their pictures of graded coins often enough to call myself a semi-amateur numismatist so that's my shot in the dark at it. </p><p><br /></p><p>It almost looks like a bit of a woody Lincoln when zoomed in a bit on my scope but not as much as others in-hand that I have that really show it off in the right lighting. If you like collect Lincoln wheaties, what do you think this might grade out as? Just a regular Brown, Red-Brown? I have every doubt in the world it would get Red, so we can just ignore that part I suppose. </p><p><br /></p><p>Any help, advice, comments, suggestions or whatever else would be greatly appreciated!
