<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 23957685, member: 33176"]I'm not that great at grading, but a few things to point out...Lincoln's tie disappears into his coat because it is worn down, the lines of the coat are muted and soft, not crisp, the wheat stalks on the reverse don't have the lines sharp, and even the grains show a lot of wear. The bright color is from polishing the coin. Perhaps an XF, which Red Books at $0.40...even an MS65 is $8 in my 2021 book. If you don't hae a Red Book, get one NOW. The prices are bunk, but the comparison is usually valid.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
