I found this while going through a mixed batch awhile back and have been working on getting it in decent shape. I little more work to do still.

Congrats Jon.
That will be a real nice find once it's all "spiffed" up.

Nice find... IMHO I wouldn't do to much to it... What it has gives really good character to the overall appearance!!!

Beautiful colors and really nice looking Lincoln, congrats!!

Really nice '15 Dabrin. Pleasing colors and nice contrast between the light and dark alloys.

One awesome looking coin... That doesn't look like it ever made it into circulation???

It was graded by PCGS as MS-64 BN

Wow... Nice grade but I thought it would have been higher??? Guess that's why I don't work for a coin grading company

It's not a completely full strike and is a little lacking on luster and super good on visual appeal, so I kinda agree with the MS-64 - near Gem. It would probably CAC though

I have this really nice wheat woody and cant seem to capture how it truly looks. Im trying everything. Started going back thru my rolls I had, this one was listed as wheats. I was surprised when they were all AU-BU 40s and a nice 15D. Started messing around with different ways to display the coin. Not sure if I like it

I like it !
You might try adjusting your mid tone contrast. Might make the woodie pop without blowing the highlights .

Would you mind if I played with the image ?

[kloccwork419]

Go ahead John. It's got the right color and everything but cant get the wood to pop like you said



Edit: Did this with my phone. Looks much better but it lost quality. I think I just need to open it in another edit program on my pc and try.
