I guessed 65.

I've not done well on these polls, if memory serves.

Which is really odd, as I've been collecting Ikes for a very long time.

I've actually done better on RLM's threads. Much better.

Perhaps I should sell my Ikes and start collecting Lincolns. lol

 

Maybe it is because you have had nearly 500 practices using my pictures by now.

 

ms-65 is my guess

 

I am probably wrong, but I picked Genuine.
The reason I go with genuine is, the obverse looks to be polished(?) to me. It is a "D" mintmark so it's not a proof, but it looks "proofy" to me. It is probably the lighting, but I don't see the same "proofy" look on the reverse. It's hard to tell from a picture, and I am definately no Ike expert.

*edit* - Poll is closed, so I can't pick Genuine.

 

I'm seeing luster and not polish.

 

rlm's posts are 'easier' because his pictures are much better than mine.

It's hard (for me) to not show the glare from the slab, even with no flash. Coin looks much better in person. Anyway, the answer is:

 

Apparently the scratches I was seeing on the reverse are on the slab?

 

They are in fact on the slab.

 

Well, I sucked that one up pretty badly.

 

I didn't see this till now but i agree with PCGS a 66 for sure nice coin....
