One of the cleanest chocolate brown memorials I have run into. Insane reverse surfaces.

Very, very nice! Appears the obverse die was polished. I could see MS65-66 with this one.

Looks like an MS-64BN to me. Lots of marks on Lincoln.

reverse is gorgeous. obv has a few scratches on the cheek and back of the head. someone was a little over zealous in polishing the die. overall i'd say a solid MS65 probably RB. without the scratches i'd call it 66. overall a pleasing coin

It's chocolate brown in hand, here's another I subbed a while back with similar color...gold luster. I'm gonna send it out this week. I'm gonna guess ms66bn, possibly 66+bn, far superior coin to the one I have for my registry.


(This is not the same coin, read above)

I would think the Lincoln Cent Shown would grade higher.

From what I am reading, I see there are Some who stated, The Obverse has Scratches. Since when would a Obviously Crisp Struck Coin, that has Obvious Die Clean up marks, Would have people discounting the Grade......?


I mean in Some series, a Die Break, Cud or Scratches from Over Zealous Workers, and Heavily worn dies, is Appealing to the Evidence Riddled Specimen, No.... " possibly 66+bn, " I Agree IF not higher to a 67..

MS66BN tough call on the color with the lighting. since you have it in hand and are calling it BN i'll go with that

Yeah, definite brown, zero red in hand. Heavy die polishing on the obverse.

Now that I look again, if the eye appeal and luster are there, it might be a new top pop. 67BN?
