How’s it going everyone?I was looking at my pocket change this evening and I came across an interesting looking Lincoln !However I’m unsure the proper terms of identifying it  So anyone whom has knowledge of these type of coins I’d certainly appreciate it! Thanks

Here's as close as I can get. I paid $59 for this one on ebay.Not an amazing strike but better:

Nice $59.00 coin! Not to eye appealing though! From many forums eye appeal goes a long way..

Nice find in circulation. 

Did you have a question on it?

Yes sir sorry about the late response been at work but yes any information would be appreciated I just began to do a little research not sure in grade,variety or what not just know it's a pretty awesome find which my son thought it was the coolest thing ever & I did too! Thanks!Kroger's!

The picture is now very well taken however I'm in the process of learning the proper lighting as well as many other factors that coincide with shooting photos of coins

Well please feel free so show me your well struck business example

That Morgan would be lucky to get a 63. After 1 min I found this on ebay. A very nice 63 yes but there are thousands , Many thousands of them that are under graded and frankly make yours look very anemic.

But it is your money so Bon Vivant....

first time using that phrase on these boards.....

If you think so! That coin is nothing compared to mine

Even that is debatable. Its good to have some raw examples to really get into them with the loupe. For not much more than the cost and hassle of grading this one you can probably get an MS63 already graded maybe a 64.

For not much more than the cost and hassle?Been a great journey for me I have rather small collection so I tend to have hoarded a few raw which as mentioned is indeed great being able to by eye or 8x loupe which I do!

I need help in what lightning do I need to use while taking pictures? Also is the a reasonable price microscope camera I can use for better viewing and pictures

I do not understand why you even think that Mason.

Does your coin even remotely look like one of the attributes shown below.

You can do some research yourself - It is how you become proficient in identifying VAMS.

This is the 21's page. 

Keep hunting though I am not here to deter you looking, just to encourage you to research before thinking something is what it is not.

good luck my friend

 

 

Thank you !

Hmmm, I think there may be some confusion here. Mohawk was saying that the coin is mint state in that it is not a proof. To be clear, do you know the difference between a business strike coin and a proof? No harm if you do not, but I am sure just about anyone here will be more than happy to help clarify the difference for you. Secondly, mint state is simply a term used for a coin that reflects an uncirculated state of preservation (i.e. MS-60 to MS-70). A “Gem Uncirculated” example is usually considered to be a coin grading MS-65 or better. With that said, I would personally grade your coin around an MS-63. If you do not already have one, I would consider picking up a Red Book. It has some very good information for someone just starting out. 

Thank you no I was not aware of the actual differences in the two I see so many pics of what some may be graded at 65 or 66 and some of 60+-64+ and some of the lower grades appearance is better than some of the higher grades so it's been a bit confusing I admit

While I wish you luck I think you will be very disappointed with the result of your submission.

Not at all! I mean no matter what at the end of the day bud I will have slabbed a very nice piece of America Coinage so that our future numismatic enthusiast will be able to enjoy it is not about wishing or hoping to gain a profit just a beautiful coin that deserves to be slabbed

As a business strike.

Really! So uncirculated business strike! I was reading an article in coin week and pcgs pertaining 1900 P Morgan apparently the1885 0 and the 1900 P may not be so common in gem quality!So what is gem quality?I noticed while searching HA and Stack's just to name a couple out of many I've searched is a contradicting topic!

About to send in for attribution CAC as BMP! I know most say it's just a common date no need in having it slabbed but it may not be so common if it slabs as a branch mint proof 

O'my!

Mid range Mint State with some semi-proof like surface.

Thanks! I also have a 1921s not sure variety but from things I read and see seems like a pretty good coin to holder 

How would you rate this 1900 proof?
