<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlhradio, post: 518968, member: 16900&quot;]XF-40 - looks like the bowtie and the coat are worn down to the point where the are merged.&nbsp; The top of the ear is worn flat, and on the reverse it appears nearly all of the kernels in the left-hand stalk are blended.&nbsp; Wear all over the coat (not only the lapel but also the back of the coat), the beard, the cheekline and jawline (while separated, it&#039;s not sharply separated), even the eyebrow, forehead and high points of the hair.&nbsp; Plus tiny nicks all over the rim visible on the obverse.&nbsp; It&#039;s a really nice specimen, but when you compare it to mint-state example (<a href="http://www.coinfacts.com/small_cents/lincoln_cents/wheat_ear_cents/1914d_cent.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinfacts.com/small_cents/lincoln_cents/wheat_ear_cents/1914d_cent.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinfacts.com/small_cents/lincoln_cents/wheat_ear_cents/1914d_cent.htm</a>), it&#039;s easy to see just how much detail is worn down (compare especially the ear, the detail in the coat lines, and the bowtie).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
