<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 3662490, member: 77413&quot;]<b>Case Study #4</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>So far I have posted a worn 1917 SLQ, a reference to a &quot;cleaned&quot; 1924 SLQ, and an in-depth set of 1917 Walking Liberty photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>This fourth example is a 1911-D Lincoln. I have one that I got when I first started collecting again. It&#039;s embarrassing because it is cleaned and polished. I didn&#039;t know enough to recognize it then, and send it back.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]984825[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought another from eBay that was even worse. I did send this one back.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]984828[/ATTACH]</p><p>So I was looking for something better and came across this at the same time I found the 1917 Walker. It was only $45 but would be an upgrade - and I save nearly all my Lincolns raw so the Details holder wouldn&#039;t be saved anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I mentioned earlier, this also <a href="https://www.davidlawrence.com/rare-coin/1831661#" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.davidlawrence.com/rare-coin/1831661#" rel="nofollow">came from David Lawrence Rare Coins</a>, and other bidders shied away from the Details grade. These are their photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]984837[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]984838[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I figured it would be face up in the display, and the front is spectacular, so why spend more? Here are my photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]984839[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]984840[/ATTACH]</p><p>This is a coin I could see flaws on, but in the context of what I wanted it seemed the color and obverse condition outweighed all other factors. Plus, as I said earlier, if it is already &quot;Details&quot; it can&#039;t do any worse if it gets regraded. And, you get a $250 obverse for $45.</p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to make observations on whether I am brilliant or a moron! I&#039;m predisposed to like this Details coin just fine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
