    You are just enough out of focus that I cannot tell for sure whether it is XF or AU. That puts it at $6 - $10.

    Hey! It actually has wheat lines! Now I can say AU probably 50. If you can get a well struck 16 or 17, they sure are pretty!

    Hey Rlm, what makes you go only a 50? (You probably know as well more than me, lol, I'm curious though to why you only went a 50 on it?) Very nice coin Mark, I'll withdraw my opinion for a little bit till I hear from rlm. :) :thumb:

    Phoenix :cool:

    It might go a little higher, but there are just too many nicks, the spot on the bottom reverse, scratch on the shoulder, etc. But, hey, it is a pic and I am not on my regular monitor. It could easily be a 55 in hand.

    BTW, did someone have something against "E"'s on this coin? I find a nick by every "E" on the coin and over 1/2 of the nicks are by an "E".

    I'd say AU55. I see what appears to be a touch of wear just above Lincoln's ear. It's a very nice Lincoln.
