What do you think an appropriate grade for this one would be? I am thinking AU-50. (Note: I also posted this coin in a thread titled, Learning to identify cleaned, dipped, and other problem Lincoln Wheat Cents, https://goccf.com/t/266770 . In that thread, aristarchus123 noted that he has seen other 1943 cents missing the 4, presumably due to a grease-filled die.)   Thank you! ~ Mark Edited by dd27

dd27, can you tell us why you think this one is AU?
I cannot see the surfaces in the fields very well in your photos, so I can't decide.

Looks like a mint state coin to probably 62/3

AU-58. Lincoln's cheek, jaw, lapels show signs of circulation.

Appears to be light wear on the cheek and jaw, AU-58.

Oh, from Ray! Turn down your EV, and position your lights higher, above the lens, but pointing more vertically than diagonal, and try doing 10o'clock and 2o'clock. If you can get some luster showing and eliminate those "hot" white spots, that would help.

From what I can see on the picture it looks at least AU-55 to me, as it seems Lincoln has some wear and the coin has many fine scratches. . Possibly an MS grade, but then I have to see the coin myself first. I'm not trusting my monitor screen enough.  |

I have one that's NGC MS66 for comparison.  |
