really hard not to go plus one on this one. The detail and clean'ness of the coin scream it, but luster rules at NGC and I don't see blazing in this one so will stick with 66.
This is a nice coin, but there are some spots on it. Strike and marks could easily get this a 67. Luster would probably hold it to a 66, but the spots held it down to a 65. They are not blatant, but you can definitely see them in hand.
No way....that's a harsh grade. Other than those reverse spots this coin looks flawless. I don't think I'll send anymore Lincolns to NGC after seeing these last two grades.
