Common coin, questionable eye appeal (spots/spotchy toning). This is a coin you can afford to be exceedingly picky with. Pass.
I am very suspicious of the grainy fields, wrinkled look of Abe's coat and the spots. Would somebody waste their time casting one of these?
I seriously doubt it, but anything is possible. I suspect what you're attributing as "grainy" is really the photograph (or more specifically the CCD's noise floor is high, and I would expect a relatively cheap camera took the photo, not that there's anything wrong with a cheap camera, but rather the photo's appearance is caused by it).
I like it. Nice solid natural rim and plenty of Cheek separation. A shame the flip detracts from the true tonation but it looks "REAL". Exceptional detail on the Wheats and periods but a pity about that rev rim ding. But what about Abe's goiter? His neck looks "different" to me.
check out this one. Bid if you want it. I prefer this one. http://www.teletrade.com/coins/lot.asp?auction=2764&lot=1051
I don't think you ever really completed your question. Did you want an approximate grade? An approximate value? Is it wanted by a member? You simply said what do we think? Also, that coin appears to be in a plastic container so an accurate look is difficult since anything wrong could be the plastic.
The picture quality isn't perfect, but I'd give it an MS-55. I'd say it's better than the one in my collection. But as far as price, the LC's are so unpredictable right now. I'm thinking $18- $20.. but I'm pretty tight, so I could be way off.

http://www.teletrade.com/coins/lot.asp?auction=2764&lot=1051 The PCGS holder has 97 in the number. This code 97 is for "environmental damage". Code 97 is a catch all code. They are calling it 97 for the single dark spot. Take it out of the holder & the coin would possibly sell for more money. Let's see what it sells for...
Sorry to hear about your Mom Sorry to hear about your Mom, WF. As for a trade, I'm taking a break for a month until I decide (aka, learn how) to decide which of my horde I'm gonna keep; they really DID come from my Granny and some of them were stashed "below the flood plain" while AU. She also added some through the years that had been places and bought things and when I 1st got them kinnda rummaged through the loose ones looking for the elusive "S" I'ld had missing from my Whitman started in the '50's. But I'll keep you at the top of deserving VDB fans. Now that you have your own, and It looks like a keeper, keep us informed! Photos when it arrives?
thanks all of you.i looked on pgcs price guide and it goes for about 18 in a lower grade.but i had to have it.i sold an eagle morgan and a peace last week that my mom bought me long ago.oh well..they can be replaced someday..dok no problem dude anytime is fine ..ty oh i paid 14.19 for it.i know i paid on the high end.
Glad you are having fun. When I gain some security in my knowledge I'll fess up and we can swap toys. I don't really need for all mine to be the same and you may end up with an "Extra" something that grabs my eye. 8^) Party on Dude!
