    1929- A PCGS slabbed

    NOTE: If you don't vote in the poll, your vote will not be counted

    This round is going to be a little different. Here are three :devil: 1929- Lincolns all graded by PCGS. Maybe this will help you guess or maybe it will get in your way. I recommend that you look at all three threads before guessing. BTW, I am not saying that these are or are not the same grade.

    There is no poll.

    Haven't looked at other threads like you recommended, but...

    MS-63?

    Edit: Nevermind, the poll is there now.

    Smattering of marks on Lincoln's forehead and cheek.

    64 not just because of the marks but also lincoln's hair has some wear and so does his beard

    This sounds like fun! I know a secret about the obverse picture....I'm laying down my bet.

    66

    I agree with BadThad, MS66.
     
  9. I voted MS65 but almost wanted to say MS64. TC

    Looks like at least a 65 to me, so I guessed 65. The spots in the right obverse fields have me worried that I may have overgraded.

    I've started a new tactic. I figure out what my initial impression is and add two. So MS64 becomes MS66.

    That is what PCGS does...

    I would suggest that you stand 5' away from your monitor.

    It is a common mistake to overstate the impact of relatively tiny marks on the coin and undergrade as a result.

    Remember modern graders often don't even take out a magnifying glass, and these pictures are more than 5x.

    All 3 of these have great luster. The hits (more like rubs) in the right obverse field are much less obvious in hand. I thought it funny that more people guessed 66 and more guessed 64 than guessed 65. All-in-all, I think this is a nice 65.
