I post these photos because I find the constructive criticism helpful...As far as this coin is concerned, I like it, paid very little for it, and don't really care if it grades a 67 or not. Yes, there are some that will bash your coin because that's there MO...I really don't care about that either.
MS66 RD with a shot at a 67 (although the carbon spot does make it a longshot).
I'd be interested in seeing a PCGS graded 67 wheat...someone post for comparison sake.

Yeah, I know you were joking Big. I qouted you because I understand exactly what you were saying in your post. It's not easy being a new guy on this board...lot of experts that have been collecting/dealing forever.
Thanks for the compliment on the wheatie!

I think the spot will keep it in 66rd, but I've got a 38-D with spots everywhere in a 67rd, you never know. When I get time I'm sending the 38-d for a downgrade, I am to embarrassed to even try and sell on ebay.
While the coins appears to be quite beautiful in color and luster it isn't close to a 67 in my book. From the photos the detail in Abe's hair and beard aslo appears to be weak.

This example doesn't make it, I'm afraid to say.

Your technique is coming along great.
That doesn't look 67 to me.

I'd say 66. Lincolns aren't my collecting area, but the beard seems to be lacking in details.
