I'm looking to see what everyone thinks the grade should be on this 1911-D Lincoln Cent. Thanks in advance!

Is that a minor die crack on the reverse--right wheat stalk, off the rim?

I'm thinking more in line with EF, reverse wheat lines look good, obverse ear and hair line a bit worn but with this era might be from a weak strike.

Hopefully BadTad or KenKat will be by to share their thoughts....

Old cleaning, probably a wash machine as some point. It should be darker brown. From the L in LIBERTY to the IN GOD near the rim, I think that's the original color. A lot depends on how it looks in hand, pictures usually lie. Looking at the black residue around a lot of the devices, it happened decades ago and likely can be forgiven. After all, it is a circulated coin, we expect things to happen. It comes down the eye appeal.

I like it as an EF-40 straight grade, nice wheat grains

PMs are emailed to the address you used to register on CCF. It looks like you used a "junk/no-reply" address from your domain to register here.
