copper toning Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Not just brown but DARK BROWN. But somehow it managed to savor really nice luster. The strike speaks for itself. I could not decide on an obverse pic so here are a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldhair Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Nice 12-S. MS-66? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copper toning Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) Nice 12-S. MS-66? Thanks, but no sir. MS 65. I can only imagine NGC felt it was too dark? The luster pops even in low light. IDK maybe I will resubmit one day if I decide to sell. Edited to add. The luster is satin and not a cartwheel. I am not an experienced grader but this may also hold the coin back?

ldhair Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 After I posted, I started wondering if NGC has ever graded one of these a 66. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copper toning Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I have never checked. I do know that not a lot of early BN's make it above 65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copper toning Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 This was an ICG MS65BN. And should be at least a PCGS 65BN. This makes me nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheat'swheats Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) I all the years that I have collected lincolns, I have never seen a brown any higher than a 65. I have a couple now and had several more in the past. That's not to say they don't exhist Edited October 5, 2013 by wheat'swheats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coindude Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Bob, that says BN but it's obviously RG, Red and Green! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robec1347 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Bob, that says BN but it's obviously RG, Red and Green! RGB to be more precise. I'll have to get it out and look at it. I don't remember the obverse being as red as the photo shows. I know it isn't as dark as Copper toning's 1912's or the 1928. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheat'swheats Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) That is a absolutely R/B I would have to have a chat with PCGS over that one, and yes I am talking about MS not PF Edited October 5, 2013 by wheat'swheats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mind me asking what a piece like that was valued at. I probably really do not want to know. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
