    I was doing guess the grade on MyCollect to sharpen my grading skills and I came across the coin below. I guessed it was AU-58, but turns out it was graded MS-64. It really looks worn to me on Lincoln's beard and cheek. What do you think?

    I am a little more lenient than you on this one. I am a 58 on this one. The luster is still full just a little dull. That cheek and jaw is just the strike. Luster is even for the coin.
