I'm not a fan of Lincoln's but I want that coin. Very neat looking in comparison to other woodies I've had the displeasure of looking at. Nice luster too, not a lot of chatter. My first reaction was 67, but I think PCGS went 66.
This and http://www.cointalk.com/threads/guess-the-grade-606.241927/ will end tonight. Answers will follow at some point depending on my computer and future rounds will have to wait until I get a new computer functional. I would estimate 3-4 weeks.
I couldn't either . To me a 64 has some troubles , but this one doesn't . It's just too nice and I'm hoping PCGS got over their prejudice against woodies to only take a pt. off instead of 2 .
Sorry, but I don’t get this one. First off, the grain is not as visible in hand as the picture make it. It is there, but not so bold. I can catch a glimpse of 2 tiny nicks in hand. Not sure about 67 luster, but it definitely has 66 luster and there is nothing wrong with the strike. That equates to a 66 in my mind, but PCGS only gave it a 65. This has got to be their dislike of woodies.. And this may well be another reason I like them. I can get what I consider a 66 for 65 or less in price.
