    Lincoln is not well detailed. Think it is in between MS-60 and MS-62, but I gave it an MS-62 because of the balance in luster. Nice coin, rlm's cents!

    I think it;s a 62 but gave it a 63. I differ from coinmaster, I think it has great detail, decent luster, few nicks, Thanks for sharing RLM!!

    This one is going to be tough.

    I guessed 63, but after looking again, I think I guessed low.

    Don't see many marks. Luster is going to be muted because of color. I'd love to cartwheel the coin....

    Alas all we have is a photo....

    Extremely clean coin, almost mark free. I was almost tempted to say 58 on this one because of the cheekbones, but I decided to chalk it up to toning instead. If I could turn the coin under the light it's possible I might change my mind, but I'm happy with my estimate of 64.

    If it were not for the subdued lusted and what I consider low eye appeal I would have gone 65.

    Nice coin, hardly a hit on it. I see the TPG's 58 these sometimes but I don't think you'd buy a 58 coin.

    Strike and mark wise, this is a 64. But the luster and eye appeal just aren't there. Maybe it is a 63+, but I think 63 is right.

    Just for grins, take a look at PCGS's photogrades; http://www.pcgs.com/photograde/#/Lincoln/Grades. Their 66, 67, and 68 all have obvious marks when you look at them. I do not have the lighting they have, so my marks show more than in their photos.

    Yea, and notice it's just a luster progression too. That 62 and 63 always crack me up. Post either of those on ANY internet forum and everyone will say they're AU. Also, the 62 looks better than the 63. LOL
