It's the distraction between the CE on the reverse that holds the coin back IMO.
Are you saying that a clash can interfere with a grade? I would never have guessed that, considering that
1. it was struck that way
2. the strike is still excellent in spite of the clash. |

I love this one. I'm keeping him for a while - the sharp die cracks and clash marks in addition to his condition and strike make an interesting and beautiful combination to me.
MS65RD+ was my guess for this coin. This one is just soooo red. I can live with that; he really does have immaculate surfaces, however, and I still thinks this deserves a 65. Perhaps the clash marks were overlooked as hits instead. I bet the arrival of the FUN inventory had definitely caused a rush around the shop last month.

You're reverse lighting was cutting through the patina too much.
Thank you.. now that you mention it, you're absolutely right, the reverse looks very flat here, almost as if it could be wear. I'm recently doing an overhaul with my setup as a result of these Lincolns. My ambition is to photograph coins professionally, but I'm just not quite there yet.
I'm hoping to find some early Lincoln woodies to trade some of these for, maybe..  |
