<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 416424, member: 5233"]But it's generally true. When you grade Lincoln's that is one of the basic things to look at. However, I liken those mid-20s Lincoln's very much to the later 40s Walking Liberty. In this example, one of the grade diagnostics is Liberty's left arm being distinguishable from the background of her dress. However, many coins form the 1940s came from dies in such a bad state that even uncirculated coins don't have a distinguishable difference. Just like any coin, there are specific years that had terrible strikes and must be graded a bit differently. But, as a general rule, the wheat lines must be full to grade VF or better.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
