FWIW, this is not the same coin as before. 1953-D NGC slabbed NOTE: If you don't vote in the poll, your vote will not be counted
solid 66. Not sure if it's me Dick, but on the reserve it's looks "busy" underneath the MER in America. thanks for sharing.
Satiny luster from abraded die. I guessed 67. Reverse planchet defects through USA do not detract from grade, G. I'm guessing luster took the day. 66 at worst.
What to do, what to do? What appear to be major scratches at Lincoln's ear and the wheat stalk through C but with great shine? 64+2= MS66 RD
Alright, sucker me in....these 66/67's are teeing me off man. Just too tough without seeing it in hand.
Tonight's will not be 66/67. I still have not figured out just how to organize it, but no one need guess 66 on them.
This is simply a nice 66. A few minor disturbances, but nothing major. And most of you agreed. In fact this is the best you have done yet by far. FWIW, and despite Thad's complaints, your scores demonstrate that either you are getting better at interpreting my pictures, at grading from them, or both. Regardless, it appears that I have saturated the market for the moment, so I will cut back a bit on the frequency.
