<p>[QUOTE="VDBPennyGuy, post: 1347309, member: 35595"]I recently purchased this coin for $68.00. I did some research on my own (YIKES) <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> From the PCGS website, using the tools available, I gave this an approximate grade of between MS-66 and MS-68. I am probably shooting waaay to high, I am certainly not a professional numismatic but this really is in fantastic condition. There is one nick on Lincolns shoulder that appears to be bag damage, but I can't be sure, and there is a bright red sheen on front and back, the pics don't reflect that as well as I would like. Here are a few pics (the best I can do). Also, the periods between the VDB initials are missing between the V and D and After the D, the only one I can make out is the period between the B and D. Really I am only wondering if I should spend the money on grading and slabbing this coin. I want to be sure because finances are tight, but i could swing it if the value is more than the grading/slabbing, and my purchase price. Any input would be greatly appreciated and I will be keeping an eye on this post to answer any other questions anyone might have. Thanks in advance. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]155830.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]155829.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]155827.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]155828.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
