Dick the vertical lines on the reverse are polish lines ? Correct ?

 

Yes sir. Notice how they do not go through the letters.

 

I'll say MS66RD. That's a beauty!

 

I'm thinking 67 but MS-66RD

 

66

 

Solid 66 red!! Superb!!!

 

Really really wianted to say 67, but I went with 66.

 

I'm thinking PCGS-66 , NGC probably a 67 .

 

Dick just noticed a couple long lines to the right of Lincolns face and above the date , They look like polish lines , are they raised in hand ?

 

easy 67 at first glance, luster there, but those marks i'm going to say are mostly from the die (raised)

 

Closest to the chin is a nick. Above the date is so small I cannot tell.

 

Bright flashy coin!

 

This and http://www.cointalk.com/t224556/ will be ending tonight.

I have no idea when I will get to the answers or standings.

 

Yes, those are die scratches (aka die polishing lines) on the reverse of the coin. They are pretty much invisible in hand and they do not count against the grade. Real nice luster and a solid strike. Only a couple tiny nicks keep it from a 67. NGC gave it a 66 and I agree but would add a +.

Scores tomorrow.

 

Ha! The first one I guessed correctly! Love the coins rlm.

 

Really thought NGC would give this a 67 , anyways a beautiful coin Dick

 

The luster is excellent, I saw the polish lines and ignored them. Looks like some ticks in the rt obv field did it in.

 

I figured they wouldn't be seen without a loupe , guess they used a 5X one .

 

Polish lines don't normally affect the grade.
