Can I get some grade opinions? Still trying to figure this whole grading thing out.   |

MS-64 sounds about right.

Yes, around MS64--nice coin, shows minor dings and hits. Just a hint of very minor wear.

The highest points on the obverse do not appear to have a high(er) degree of crispness one might expect on a truly uncirculated cent. Having said that, I think many of us have seen PCGS and NGC slabbed coins with mid-grade MS numbers having just the slightest hint of circulation wear. Not having the coin in-hand is a disadvantage for us.

Thanks everyone! I feel like this one is very similar, what grade would you give this 39?   |

If you are comparing coins, yours you posted has far less clean fields than the wheat you posted, surfaces of the fields mean a lot, as even tiny nicks in the fields are visible with the naked eye in most instances.
lot of chatter under the memorial, a bit of chatter left of Lincoln's bust, all hold it to around ms64. Still a nice coin, just not worth grading.
