[QUOTE="houston_ray, post: 33659, member: 1943"]I have a 1914-D Lincoln cent. I believe the obverse grades out a pretty much straight vanilla VG8. However, the reverse is a strong F; the wheat ear lines are all separated, but there is a spot that's weak but still separated. The reverse is a F15 to a VF20 grade I reckon. I understand that some Lincolns were weakly struck (typically the reverse) in the 1920s. But this is a 1914-D. Assuming my analysis as to obv/rev grade is correct, how do professional graders evaluate a coin like this? Thanks! Houston_Ray[/QUOTE]
