Lincoln Grading Opinions Please - 1972 DDO

19Lyds19Lyds Posts: 26,492 ✭✭✭✭
I've rescanned my 1972 DDO and was wondering if I should submit this for a regrade.

Any scratches seen are on the plastic and this is in an older Green Holder. Not a rattler but an older green holder from the early 90's.

There is a hit above the temple area on the Obverse and the particles on the reverse are dust or debris.

Thoughts??

Edited to add, the edges are not nearly as rough as they appear due to the holder insert being rough.
I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



The name is LEE!

  • On the OP DDO is there strike doubling on the rev? or just a camera trick? what would strike doubling do to a grade?

    It looks way better than my 64RD specimen in an OGH.

    A whole lot less "dings and dangs"......but I don't know if it will approach 66.

  • These come with PL surfaces. Maybe its the image, but the surface appears too dull to make 65. I'm going with 64 RD.

    << <i>On the OP DDO is there strike doubling on the rev? or just a camera trick? what would strike doubling do to a grade? >>



    Strike Doubling offers little to no value to any coin and what you are see is definitely a trick of the scanner-a.

    The coin is currently graded MS65RD.
