    I have two 1918 Lincoln Centennial commemorative half dollars. One is mostly blast white graded by PCGS about a year ago. (I sent it to be graded) The other is in an old NGC fatty & is dark but has some nice color to it, especially on the reverse. One achieved a gem grade (65), and the other only made it to 63. Both are pleasing coins in my opinion... I just thought I would share these two very different examples. I thought it might be fun to see which one everybody thinks is the 65 and which one is the 63!

    The brighter one is probably graded MS-63, but I don't care for either one of them. This one is graded MS-64.

    The PCGS one seems to have a few tics on the jaw so I’ll say 63 on that. Don’t care for dark comms but I’ve come across some real nicely toned Lincolns and they go for a steep premium

    This is an old ANA soap bar 62. Seemed nice and original to me.
