    We will need better photos to attempt to grade your coin. First, try to take with photos that show the entire obverse and the entire reverse. It is impossible to grade a coin if you cannot see the entire coin.

    Next try to work on the color. The coin in the photos appears to be unnaturally red.

    Bill, is this a photo through your microscope? They are bad at "color blooming" and color balance. If you have the software that can do so, photo the coin on a white paper and set the color balance of the scope to "white". That should help the high contrast color on reflective surfaces.

    Does appear to be a very nice coin but I will wait for better pictures before hazarding a grade guess. Lincoln appears to have a rather large scar on his cheek...

    He started a new thread with the better photos. I guess this thread is dead now.

    Geeez.

    The other day when I answered an OP's question. I immediately found the identical question on another new thread. I got admonished by someone for saying "See my answer to your question on the other thread with the identical question."

    Multiple threads for the same question cause confusion and problems.

    You can show better pics by posting to the original thread. That would certainly help with continuity and cut down on confusion.

    Just pick one for now and be patient he is evidently learning about posting on the forum. So there are some tricks we probably need to show him.

    On one of his other threads I explained to him how to upload photos. I hope that helps him.
