NP - 1924-D Lincoln

Let me have the grades/opinions. In hand it's more red than the pictures indicate, but it's definately an RB coin. I've been searching for this coin for years. They are so hard to find in higher grades and well-struck.

I'm not so sure about RB from your photos, guess I'll take your word for it.
I'd say MS64.

 

She is a beauty. I'd agree with 64...maybe a chance at a 65.

 

What a lucky find. I'm thinking 64, too many little nics on the rev. for a 65. The 2 nics on the O in one really stand out. Puts mine to shame though(xf-45)...

 

That is every bit a 64 and I think has a very good shot at a 65 with good luster that I think it has. If that is a rim nick on the left reverse, it could also keep it from a 65.

 

In hand it looks like "split" on the planchet or maybe something struck-thru. I'm not sure really. It's not really noticible in hand, the picture seems to really bring it out.

 

From what I can make out, I would have to guess a planchet flaw.

 

Here's an MS-64RB on ha.com. Man, it's pretty beat-up for a 64!

I think yours is a 64, but , and that one isn't.
I'd also question the gradeability of the coin. If that coin should be any holder, it should be less than a 63.

 

Ms-65 rb...

 

Wow, cool find. Were did you find it. I think the coloring looks great from what I can tell in the picture. It is very well struck. It will grade at least a 64

 

Nice looking coin.

 

over all im thinkng ms 65.. atleast..

 

what he said that he said

 

Very nice item.

 

I was looking closer with my 10x and I found something I didn't like! VERDIGRIS! There was some very light verdigris forming around the obverse motto. It's a good thing this coin made it to me when it did! That DEFINATELY had to be removed before PCGS sees it and I don't want my holdered coin to have it. That drives me nutz when a slabbed coin has something like this on it.

 

What would have happened if it went to PCGS like that. Would they have just body bagged it?

 

I don't think so, it was very light and it took magnification to see it. In the few seconds a grader looked at it I believe it would have passed through. Don't matter now, it's gone and I have a test piece to prove my product....it's all good.

 

I am still waiting on your book so I can understand exactly what verdigris is and what it does.
