you want me to answer that question? i know someone here who can get the grade right after seeing only the shadow
I think that is an MS 63. It boggles my mind how copper can stay red after 100 years. I have no explanation how that can happen with an oxygen atmosphere. BTW - specifically Lincolns face looks washed to me. Ruben
Can't you give us smaller pics, I can almost see these. Wait a minute, let me hold my loupe up against the screen. Just busting your chops for the small pics, Spock. I say this is 65 and up, all the way. The discoloration/toning in spots shouldn't affect that grade one bit. At least, IMHO...
it only looks like that its a solid red coin. dont worry as we reach part 4 the pics become smaller and then from 5 onwards it becomes hazy as well. then at the end of round 7 i will tell you guys something that might give you some insight on how far your grading has come
I'll take a stab and say MS-66 R/B, but it is difficult to tell by the pics. There does seem to be a little too much chatter in the fields to go that high, so I'll say it's atleast a MS-65 R/B, due to what appears blazing color, strike (norm though for VDBs), and luster. Very beautiful coin man IMHO. :thumb: Phoenix
