Attn Braddick: real neat Lincoln circ finds.

Looking thru some older Lincoln's I had put aside, these look like 2 neat, clean, well worn decent cents. First looks a whole lot like a 1909S, but rev doesn't want to show me a VDB, and the second looks like a well worn 1922-D?- yea I think I see a faint D ---Oh well. How low do you think they would grade?

ag3....fr2...po01 almost

Naw, reverse is nowhere near worn enough.

Cam40 · November 17, 2004 12:00PM

ya but isnt the obv like 70% of the grade?

seanq · November 17, 2004 12:02PM

Maybe it's my monitor, but they look like 1919-S and 1925-D from here. When you're done squinting at the reverse of the first coin for signs of a "VDB," check out Abe's shoulder on the obverse for them.

As far as grades... who knows, anything above 65 and below 4 is a mystery to me.

First place I looked was Abe's shoulder, but it looked void of anything. These could definetely be a 19 and a 25 (At some angles it looks like it could be a 23 also) These are no value coins, just neat clean well worn Lincoln's that Braddick might want.

Here's a PCGS AG03 for comparison.....its a 1911-P. As noted above, the reverse o your19xx coin is way too strong to grade even AG03.

Thanks a lot for the pic Craig. I better start rubbing that reverse before I give it to Braddick.

braddick · November 17, 2004 12:37PM

Thanks for the photos. No matter what, I like those coins.
Craig nailed it though. Lincolns are next to impossible to locate in problem free PO01 as at that point the date and (possible) mint mark are so weak as to make the coin unslabbable.

In fact, thinking about it: I don't believe I've ever seen a true PO01 Lincoln Wheat or a GD04 or less Memorial!

is there a market for these?

braddick · November 17, 2004 12:49PM

<< <i>is there a market for these? >>

Only among the foolish!

DesertRat · November 17, 2004 12:56PM

So what is the definition of a "problem free" PO01 Lincoln?

Colorfulcoins · November 18, 2004 2:42AM

I see that Pat Braddick has posted a $250 reward for a GD04 Memorial Linclon (way to go Pat).........however, I've upped the bounty to $1000 for a PO01 memorial 1959-1964. So, forget about these worn out wheats and lets see some worn Memorials! There's got to be some - the 1959 is 45 years old at this point!

I have a 1919-S that's lower than that... thinking about sending it to ANACS to see what they think... if it comes back without a net-grade... I'll try it at PCGS, then pawn it off on one of these nutcases

ziggy29 · November 18, 2004 3:57AM

Yeah, I too am seeing the dates as 1919 and 1925.

bigtonydallas · November 18, 2004 4:47AM

What reward is there for a PO coin? PCGS only?

braddick · November 18, 2004 5:33AM

<< <i>What reward is there for a PO coin? PCGS only? >>

For goodness sakes, of course it must be a PCGS GD04 Memorial. You can't add ANACS coin to the Registry!

bigtonydallas · November 18, 2004 5:37AM

Well I'll have to look as I might have a candidate.

DesertRat · November 18, 2004 6:41AM

The wheat I have posted above is a 1919-S. The date is visible when looked at in bright light under a basic glass. Any chance?
