help with lincoln grading

Tbar

I am trying to learn to accurately grade lincolns.

I am not the best photographer, but what do you think a coin like this should grade?

I love the RB look as opposed to gem red coins, but I can't grade worth a hill of beans when it comes to lincolns.

I would love to hear your thoughts/grades on a coin with this look.

Thanks.

First of all, that's a pretty good photo

For the grade I wouldsay MS-64, and I'm 50/50 between RB and BN

63RB- not a lot of hits, but the obverse crud brings it down from a 64RB IMHO...

RB63 and I'll second Stone's comment on the photo. Nice.

I'd have to say 63 Brown. Not enough red to give it a RB.

Someday REAL American HERO's will be on our COINS.

Thanks for the replies.

I also grade this coin 63 rb, so in that regard I am on the right track. I really like this coins look. I would like to continue a set in this condition as filler while I am saving for the bigger purchases in my peace set.

I am glad you think my pics are ok. I really need to start honing my skills in this regard because I am all over the map. I use 1 halogen desk lamp and it just does not cut the mustard. I have to take 20 pics in order to get a couple keepers. I also think I need to take notes on my camera settings.


Thanks again.
