Agree with large dat.
Maybe they encased it because of its luster?

It is large date. It's 46 years old with original full red luster. That's worth the capsule.

I put virtually all my coins in cardboard 2x2s. I assumed that this is what is meant by "encased". What is the alternative? Loose in a bucket?

I think it's worth protecting - it's a fairly old coin in terrific condition. Also considering that throughout the modern era, moreso recently, "S" minted coins were primarily from proof sets. It's not every day you find an S in circulation.

It is a beautiful Large Date Lincoln, just looking at the obverse looks MS-65RD or so.  |

The 1970 US Mint Uncirculated Set (which includes this Cent and all other coins for that year) can be purchased for $12.00-$15.00. Definitely a large date, but it's a GREAT brilliant Uncirculated coin ! It deserves to be kept in that hard plastic encapsulation. Not a lot of value but great coin nonetheless  |

I agree, large date. A very nice looking one, but not one I would have sent for grading.

Could be they thought it might be a small date, but it is not.

I can see the crease in the 7. That tells me large date.

I have one of those, but the top of the memorial looks like it's floating above the rest of the building. The two supports that connect the top to the rest of the building are missing. I'd post a picture, but I don't have anything capable of getting close enough to see it.

Definitely a large date, but a beautiful coin for its age regardless!
