If voted this time with what I think, that's an easy 65 coin...but I'm going with the TPG grade this time to help my score. LOL That's one HELL of a 16-D bro!!!!

 

I think it is a keeper - and I did not even pay what either of them went for at Heritage. I am very pleased.

 

If you don't want to keep it, I'll give you a full refund!

 

ok....exactly 10,000 posts! Congrats!

 

TY

When I get things under control, I have a bunch of a contest set up, just not quite all of it yet.

 

Dick, I would normally go with a 64 however I think with it's appearance it got a 65..plus I had a harder time grading with the toning on the coin. I feel that it may/does hide any imperfections of the coin. None the less it's a great coin and I will gladly take it off your hands

 

What's that aberrant field to the right of Lincoln's face? When you tilt that coin in hand, does it have a "tiger's eye" look? As in, does that region reflect differently than the rest of the coin? Assuming it's not a ding, that's certainly a cool little section of toning. Never seen that before

 

Can I change my grade , I didn't vote yet . well I'll stand pat then 63RB

I have no idea. It is luster impaired, but not gone. That is the best I can say.

 

hard to tell on this one but l love the toning 63 +1

 

That strike is so sharp it cut my eyes!

 

Beaut toning and eye appeal... I was initially stuck on 63 and really didn't want to give the +1, but gave in and went 64.
There's something on the rim (hit or plancet flaw at 10 o'clock, and the reverse appeared a bit chattery)..... very hard for me to grade, but really like the toning.

 

64 rb

Neat beard detail. It's so interesting to me how much more detail these early-ish years have.

 

Nice one!

 

That is a scratch on the slab. Nothing on the coin.
