MS66 or 67RD

 

VERY Nice

66?

 

I collect PCGS MS66RD Lincolns but this one looks more like a MS65RD due to the rough fields - looks like maybe struck with a semi - worn die.

 

67RD

 

66. Nice looking coin. 67 if it had been graded by NGC.

 

66RD

 

66.

 

I agree with MS66RD that's a nice one.

 

66+

 

Alot of 66ers - This Is my earliest PCGS MS66 - does it compare? not as magnified as the 34. Smooth fields and scratches are on the case.

 

And here are some 66's I have;

 

After looking through my collection I don't see many of those types of surfaces - I see these - maybe 34's were graded 66 because they had crappy strikes

Yes - I see your fields are not grainy?

 

How is this for "not smooth fields and it is a 67!

 

Because newer Lincolns are very hard to find in that condition - and I don't see it in a graded holder!! TPG's have to keep coin collectors sending their coins into them so they can pry money out of your pocket

 

OH BTW - nice water spots!

 

You are missing the point. The "not smooth fields" are from the mint and not PMD. Therefore, they have little to no affect on the grade. How is this for an example (also a 66).

 

Guess I'me quality happy instead of grade happy - my bad!!

 

And, BTW, when the coin is not pictured at 15x (i.e. in hand) those field look very smooth.

 

The more I look at it, the more I'm thinking PCGS may have gave it a 67.
They want great luster to give out a 67 and this coin has it.
