Very nice looking coin Ed. What grade would you give it? My guess is MS-64. Very Nice! Coin prices list that one in MS-65 for $14. I feel that price is too low. Very nice coin Ed!

Coop, it's a coin that I like because the color (pic doesn't show) is very fresh and it's fire engine red. It has some scuffs and is a PCGS MS63 red.

I've always thought medium grade (62-64) red or RB early Lincolns are a good deal if you can find them. They have the excitement of an unc but not out of reach of collectors.

Ed, thanks! I couldn't make out the three. In mMS-65, it is valued at $480. Note: MS-60
Prices are for Brown, and MS-65, are for Red. As per CV, March 2009.

It ocurred to me that we will have to check the prices given in the publication, to determine if they are future, or current. See my post above.
Dick
