Grade Opinions on this Lincoln

19Lyds

Got a 74 Mint Set in the mail today with nothing special except this Lincoln. The obverse looks cleaner than anything I've seen so far with these sets but most notable is the depth of the strike or planchet. The rim strongly suggests a proof planchet with the high flat edge but the surface says no. The edge is most noticeable (with my crappy scans) on the left of the obverse.



Any scratches or spots are a result of sacanning through the mint packaging.

Thoughts?

Opinions?

Well, there are two marks in front of the nose and the beard, in the right field, that are definitely on the coin. Just a decent mint set Lincoln really.

65 any day, 66 if some of the rim dings and scratches in front of abe's nose are actually in the cello.

Why thank You Torino.

I've seen a few of these but this one had what I consider a very high rim. As I said earlier, much like a proof rim.

Thanks for all the feedback.
