1910 Raw and Unc Lincoln...Gimme a Grade.

I have no doubts that this raw 1910 Lincoln is original. I also think that the color would go red.

Some spots on the reverse, some areas of muted luster and a darker area of toning on Lincoln's shoulder.

I give it a MS63. What say you?

    The 1910 has a strong strike, so I'll go with a solid 64 RB. Shag
  • 63 RB - very nice

    Maybe it's a figment of the photo, but it looks like there is green crud starting on the jaw line and extending down across the shoulder.

    You call it origional and swear by it, so therefore, I'll gander up a 64 RD.
    Now, it is your job to tell me the greenish color is not there. Obverse looks like it has some PVC troubles.
    I'll even go 5 RD on a good day, in a pefect storm.

    There is no pvc...simply a darker shade of album toning on Lincoln's shoulder. My camera is on its last legs and artifacts green coloration to what really should be light brown shade. The coloration and skin is exactly the same as my 64RD/. This coin has too much spotting and muted luster in spots to be a 64. A nice coin for a Dansco for those that want a MS example for their collection.

  • Is that a scratch going from the M in "Unum" to the E of "ONE" on the reverse? If not, 65 all day.

    It looks like PVC on Lincoln's coat. That should be removed. The color looks too brassy in the photo.

    If the color is okay and the green stuff (PVC?) comes off without underlying damage, I'd go with MS-64 or 65 red, but those are two big ifs ...
