esitmate condition 1957 d

[willymac]

I am trying to get a gauge on condition...can someone help me by giving me an estimate of this one?

I have a bunch like this and a bunch struck this solid but have darkened up (in whole or in part)...what does that do to the condition rating?

Nice BU. I have a nice BU roll sittin here. Almost all of them were an RPM, some too minor to list.

I would say this is around MS65 or better. THe darker one would be either Red-Brown or Brown and it does effect the price. If you look at any price guige, the RB or BR cents are alway less with BR being the least

Hard to determine the color of a coin when a scanner is used…if it looks like the picture provided maybe MS63/64 RB? It looks like there is some tone but that could be from the scanner – if it is bright red maybe MS65RD.

As the other Jason stated, darkening impacts the grade and the price - also note that late 50s Lincolns are affordable and easy to find in MS65RD (and even MS66RD).

right on!
