<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lkeigwin, post: 1272046, member: 30400&quot;]I really love this thing. I don&#039;t know why...I guess because it is so full of problems and yet is still very attractive.</p><p><br /></p><p>Look at the mess. I don&#039;t believe that the obverse rim at 7k is from a planchet problem. I think it is the prelude to a very large cud. That part of the die was just about to break away.</p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting die crack at Lincoln&#039;s temple too. A die crack in the recessed device, wow. Another few on his lapel too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then there&#039;s the uber-cool die chip in the date. And what&#039;s that on the lapel near the rim at 5:30? Another chip? Kinda symmetrical and clean, like a dropped letter. Not sure.</p><p><br /></p><p>The surface is excessively frosty from die wear. Brilliant luster. Lettering struck up well but Lincoln&#039;s shirt and vest are worn to very poor detail. Almost looks like a rusty die.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse is not as interesting. You can see that die was not in great shape (check out the wheat straw, especially the left).</p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone has other thoughts or ideas, please share them!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now, what grade did it earn at PCGS? Guesses?</p><p>Lance.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg37/lkeigwin/Lincolns/4a89166d.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg37/lkeigwin/Lincolns/b8a959a8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
