rough guess on grade

[shameless]

im putting a graded set of lincolns together and im going thru the stuff i got to send in before i buy the rest and im going thru my 20's and here are a few of the nicer one so far that i could be sending in but im looking for at least xf or better on the 20's
i know its really hard to get a grade by pics so just a rough ideal will do
im not that good at grading

thanks

VF, F, XF, VF, VF, XF, VF, XF (from left to right) would be my grades based on the pics....

Hi shameless,
When I am checking over the coins I find and see all things equal on the obverse of the coin, when compared to others of the same date and mintmark, I will choose the coin with the best reverse.

I really like having the book "Photograde", by James F. Ruddy, by my side when I am trying to decide what coins are the best choice for my album.

Yours look pretty good.

Hey Shameless,
I don't claim to be a "grader" of Lincoln's, but I do grade my own with a reasonable amount of confidence.
Based on your pics and not seeing any of the reverses which is just as important in grading, I would say all of your coins fall into the VF category except maybe the 1928-D which looks more EF to me and the 1921-S looks more Fine.

The LCR will have a grading guide soon. Jcuve has been taking pics of different grades. I will be working on setting that up this week.

That will be great having pics to compare. I would say Brad is pretty close on his calls.

...That reminds me I need to photograph some more coins for that project. Hopefully I'll be done with that by this evening...
