Another guess the grade? 1918 Illinois Lincoln Commem - Grade Revealed MS64
Meltdown

I just picked this up on Friday. I don't collect commems other than the 4 in my type set album but this one screamed at me.
The luster and surfaces are off the charts when you swirl it. I think I'm used to seeing too many with a dip... The cartwheel mint luster is so bright under the tarnish....

Looks like it has some issues (spot removal on the reverse, abrasions in the right obverse field) ... put me down as a 64

I don’t recall Anacs doing + grades back in the day. There looks to be some hairlining in the upper right quadrant. My 65 opinion seems optimistic…
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
65.
My bet is on NGC fatty. The plastic ring around the reverse looks a bit smaller in diameter than that of an ANACS soapbox. However, I'm not sure what is going on by the top right corner of the obverse. Some sort of imperfection in the plastic?

I'm stuck between 64 and 65. 64 if you pinned me down.

Wow, that's a gold CAC candidate for sure!
