Please tell me your honest assessment of the grade. Thanks for your assistance! Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7312 Posts	Posted 09/16/2026 11:20 pm Wow wonderful reverse, shame about the obverse looks like wipe marks on the field behind Abe's head and a fingerprint forming/toning. IMO MS-65 (minimum) and if true about the "wipe" Details Still a great addition any of us would love to have. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 20037 Posts	Posted 09/17/2026 10:04 am Dang, lucky you! This is a holy grail coin that I've searched for in the wild for decades. I would attempt a mild conservation to see how that obverse gunk responds. That's worth a whole grade point if it comes off. MS-62 Lincoln Cent Lover!

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 78703 Posts	Posted 09/17/2026 11:06 am I'll say MS-64. Nice coin! I have found one of these in the wild a few years ago. It's in AU condition. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
FsdWarp10 Pillar of the Community United States 735 Posts	Posted 09/17/2026 4:30 pm Thank you all for your comments and opinions. I did run it through a short acetone bath and rinse but only saw slight improvement. After taking a closer look at the area in question I wonder if the die was aggressively polished to get rid of a clash? There are still remnants of a clash on the back of Lincoln's neck. Take a look at the pics and let me know what you think. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 78703 Posts	Posted 09/17/2026 5:52 pm There's definitely some die polishing going on. It appears that there's a remnant of a Die Clash that the mint worker missed. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
