GTG Lincoln

I have a few of these GTG to post. I bought a few eye appealing coins in less than desirable TPG's.
What is your grade and what did the TPG grade it.

Wow those last ones are terrible photos.
These are much better.

 

I'm awful at grading mint state Lincoln cents, but here goes nothing!

MS-64 RD

 

Is that your grade?

 

AU-55

 

65

 

AU50

 

Yes.

 

I’m thinking the blob on the forehead brings it down to MS62 RD.

 

No doubt that Carbon spot is an eyesore. I think it is easily dealt with. The photo definitely makes it worse than it is.

 

In that case, AU64. That is, there looks like a tiny bit of rub on the cheekbone, which would knock it out of its proper grade of at least MS64.

As you can tell, I am no fan of the artificial boundary between MS and AU, when the amount of wear is essentially insignificant.

 

MS 65 RB ...NNC holder?

 

I have no problem with your assessment, they are concerns that seasoned collectors have.

 

Yes NNC, in the crack outs. There are two NNC slabs and three NTC.
I have a Merc under the scope right now.

 

I will post the grade this evening after work,
MST.

 

MS64RD

 

This is one that they gave a 66 RD. I am not paying market prices on a basement slab. Most of these go for a few grades less than market.
That carbon spot or over active verdigis, lowers the grade considerably. Paid around grey sheet, I know hit me, should have given him $20.
I saw the tag on the last nine of DDO-001. Stage A. I haven't had time to attribute this coin.

Wexler has a few more Obverses. Haven't checked Coppercoins.

 

Here is another of my 09' VDB's.
Still raw.
