[QUOTE="kanga, post: 354916, member: 9270"]I'm going to guess that your problem is the same as mine. The 1920-D Lincoln doesn't have enough value to merit being slabbed until you get to MS-64. About the only way you can get a slabbed MS-63 is that someone overestimated their coin as MS-64 (or higher) and got a rude surprise when it came back MS-63 (or less.) I've got some coins I'd like to buy slabbed, but generally speaking if the owners gets the grades correct, they're not going to submit them. Not cost effective. I bought a raw Capped Bust half dime that looked real good, even in hand. Sent it in for slabbing (AU) and it came back body bagged (cleaned.) It took a lot of looking with my 10x loupe and a lot of rotating and tilting before I found the hairline scratches. Nicely toned so I suspect the cleaning was old. Sent it to ANACS for a "DETAIL" slab, then sold it.[/QUOTE]
