Newps 1910-S Lincoln: Grade in 1st Post

[FishyOne]

Just got it and am very pleased. Well struck with excellent color. Care to guess what PCGS had to say?

 

PCGS went with 63RB. Might go BN today but it looks like a 64 to me.

Nice coin. I'll guess 64.

64 RB

MS65RB

MS - 64 brown. I am not sure that there is enough red to get an R&B.]

[Coindude]

64BN

I don't think so either but his statement "Just got it and am very pleased" makes me think that they assigned RB anyway.

[BillJones]

Now that I have seen this piece on my computer screen and not an ipad, I can say for sure that this piece does not have enough red to be called R&B..

[Mark T]

Agree that this one looks to be BN. Ms 64 seems reasonable.

I could see this as a MS65 BN. All in all, it is still a very nice Lincoln cent! Nice pick up!

I think that this piece might be a little on the dull side. For that reason I think that MS-64 is its limit. An MS-65 needs to have strong mint luster under the brown toning. This pieces has very few marks like an MS-65, but the eye appeal is not quite there, at least from the photo.

I was basing my opinion on the possibility that the photos may be a little under-exposed. That could be the source of the dull appearance.

The pics in the first post were copied from the Heritage auction. Here are my images. There is much more red than the Heritage images suggested and it is designated RB. I'll post the slab grade later tonight.

 

Thank you for all the grades and comments.

 

[BillJones]

Going by your pictures I would say that it is a solid MS-64, but a bit of a marginal R&B. The one good thing you can say about the color is that it is original and not enhanced.

[L1ncolnF4n]

64RB if it was graded a time ago. I still think now it would BN but perhaps in hand it has a bit more life.

[coinman_23885]

I am with the 64 BN crowd.

[wdrob]

I will still stick with my MS65RB

[FishyOne]

Grade revealed in first post. Thanks for all the grades and comments.

I would say that is appropriate given the dull luster. It does have nice surfaces for the grade though.

 

I would be pleased in hand if I bid on the HA pics. You probably got a good price.

[Kurtdog]

Get it QUACKED. It should QUACK easy at 63.
