<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BadThad, post: 1160832, member: 17261&quot;]There&#039;s a lot of Lincoln guys on CT that can educate you. :too-cool-for:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The 27-S is well known for horrible strikes - weak, mushy, over-used dies were the norm. The planchet quality was also generally poor, the reds coins are seldom attractive. Many people choose sharply struck AU coins over the MS grades, but they are also difficult to find.&nbsp; The most sharply struck examples I&#039;ve seen are consistently in the lower grades.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When a Lincoln is so weakly struck, the imperfections on the planchet remain afterward since there wasn&#039;t enough pressure to smooth out the metal. It&#039;s very evident on the reverse of the coin, those are not hits. This coin is virtually hit-free.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Hope this helps. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
