Opinions? Just added this 1912-S to my wheat collection, which only lacks 1 coin. Any guesses which 1? This one is an upgrade, of which the old one will be my daughters now.
It sounds like your Lincoln collection is simular to mine. I'm only missing that 09-S VDB as well and my 1914-D hole contains a damaged and worn cent. But, thats OK-I still love it. Very nice 1912-S by the way.
Very nice coin with an even color and no big marks to speak of. Obverse has light wear on highpoints judging by the picture. So I would say AU-50
I'm not a big fan of numbers (who can truly and consistently tell the difference between a 63 and a 64?), but that is definitely and XF Steve
I concur. Seems to have a little extra eye appeal (may be the lighting), could give it that extra "bump".
The 'AM' in America on the reverse looks very weak or worn, if that has to do with the photo- EF-45- if it's on the coin- VF-35
Coin in hand, I'm more inclined to agree with jumpingrat,AU-50 (of course I'd say that, lol).XF-45 may be accurate though. I think the lighting in the picture makes it appear to be worn around Abe's collar and lapel. The only perceptible wear to me (10x loupe) is on the highest part of the cheek. 09S-V.D.B, you are right about the 'AM' being weak. Again, it does look worse in the photo than in hand. It appears to be from strike, as there isn't any sign of any friction there. Anyway, I paid about XF for it, and I'm happy,the most important thing! Thanks guys.
