This is by far the best 37 Ive found. Images are point and shoot using a fluorescent bulb as lighting. So be gentle.

Bought this raw out of a book, I know they are not terribly expensive, but I like to think its as nice as the 67+ that is on PCGS Coin Facts. Id really like to see the MS68

    Had a registry set of Lincolns in the past. Afraid to say this will make no more than a 66rd. Rim hit near date, and reverse hits will limit the grade. JMHO

    Nice coin! image

    I don't know about 67+, but it's certainly gem. Probably 66. Some hits in the reverse I suspect would hold it back. image

    So to my book it goes. The hunt continues though. I have made quite a few 66's still no 67's.

    I agree with the 66 also it might just be the pics but what is going on oround Abes chin and nose? looks like some die scratches right out of a nostril to his mouth.

    In hand the Obv is actually quite mark free. I still think I'll end up sending it in, just because its eye appeal is so nice.

    Indeed, it's a beautiful coin. I just fear the luster is holding it back as well as the mark on the obverse rim and hits on the reverse.

    Not a 67, but 65red with a chance of 66red - IMHO.

    65 red. The various rim hits will prevent it from going higher.

    65 but could go 66 if the luster is better than shown.

    65, maybe a 66 in hand....enlarged pictures may make the reverse marks look worse than they are...Cheers, RickO

    Ever since I lost my smart phone with the photo grade app, it's tougher to "guess" the grades . imagehere

    or HERE if you're on your smart phone, or iPad or other device.

    65/66 red
    i think the obv rims would hold it at 65
