I was torn between 62 and 63. Guessed 62 on obverse detail (or lack thereof) -- what a crappy obverse strike!

Are they all struck like this?

 

Nice example!

Leadfoot - It's a 20's Lincoln branch mint, pretty much the norm.

 

My F-12 24-D has a better strike than this................

 

On second look, please change my grade to 63.

 

63 pancake... I've seen a hundred like this... I still like the coin, and it's better than other panner's I've seen in pcgs 63.... I like that lusterful brown color,, very nice,, and a hard date to come by in affordable MS.

 

took this one down to the lower end!

 

Same here. Is the crack on the reverse near the right wheat ear real?

 

this coin might have a 64 potential but gave it a 63. Nice die crack on the wheat stalk

 

I'll go 63 it's too nice for 62 .

I am going to close this and http://www.cointalk.com/t156979/ tonight.

 

This really is not too bad of a strike for a 24-D. The obverse die had seen its better days, but it did all it could on the planchet. The field are pretty clean and it has nice luster for a brown coin. An interesting die crack on that right wheat. I think this is a solid 63 or 63+.

BTW, I now know you are actually learning. If I had posted this at the beginning, 3/4 or more would have missed this. Here, 60% got it right.

I actually remembered this time.

 

Baha, Do you hear the footsteps?
