It took me 30 years to complete my 1909-2025 Lincoln set. I'm
wondering what the grade is. I'm guessing AU 50. Thanks for looking.

Nice looking example, if authentic. How did you acquire it?

I don't see any obvious issues but will wait for one of our experts to weigh in.

There is a small coin shop in my town. I asked a few years ago if he would keep a look out for that coin and a few others I needed. He called me about this one and some others I needed.

Hard to fully tell from the given picture if it's MS but it looks to at least AU-55. NICE COIN!

Can you get a close shot of the MM?
Lincoln Cent Lover!

I agree, I've been buying from this man since I was 27 and I'm 57 now. He's about 78 now and has never did me wrong.

No attempt to grade it, but I think it's a beautiful coin. Congratulations on your purchase.

well, this is not easy for me to relay to you but the MM position is not one of the known 4 obv dies. its too low. the bar in the B should be slanted to about 45 degrees, based on the photo it does not appear that way

it may not be authentic. lets get a couple other folks to chime in
