<p>[QUOTE="C-B-D, post: 2939920, member: 43130"]I sent this coin in for grading a week or so ago. Although I debated submitting it. My first thought was MS64, my second thought was "burnished." (But why would someone burnish a 16-S??- not a rare date, although less common than most). It's solid dark chocolate but more lustrous than most coins that have turned this color. The surfaces are also a little odd, like a matte in nature, which may be typical for an early date wheat cents. IDK, but I wanted to know and learn, so I sent it in. To me it's either a problem coin or a MS64 BN. Trying to stretch my skills in dealing with Lincolns. In the end, it's a cheap lesson. The coin was part of a set, which I've already made my money back on, so I'm only into it the economy grading fee and shipping. What do you think?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]715756[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
