I've been told it was artificially toned, I don't buy it.
Red/Brown or Red?

I'll say RB for color. As for the grade, maybe MS-64?

bishftl thats original toning dont listen to amateurs. this is a nice lincoln.

the eye appeal and luster is on the lower end but surface preservation looks good. I think those 2 components will hold it to MS63RB. you need 90% red to pull that designation and this is not.

The toning doesn't look bad, I'd say it's market acceptable.

MS-62/63

Lower end MS, RB. I believe the toning is 'natural'. Not convinced it's been cleaned--given the images posted.

With more of the original red color in protected areas, I'm leaning towards natural toning, or at least market acceptable red-brown.
