<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2597072, member: 1892&quot;]One of the things which was most difficult for me to acclimate to, when learning to grade Lincoln Wheats, was how much wear it took for &quot;blurring&quot; to begin in the lines on the wheat stalks. Unless weakly-struck, one can expect them to remain relatively sharp and fully separated into the upper VF range, and I see that happening in these images. </p><p><br /></p><p>The only other really variable tell on Lincolns is the hair - it&#039;s the only other place where sufficient detail exists to develop a feel for the &quot;range&quot; of wear. On your coin, the obverse (most visible in the last obverse pic) has been scrubbed so badly that I think the scrubbing <i>itself</i> removed detail, but that level of detail doesn&#039;t even reach the upper range of VF.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
