1963-D Lincoln Cent To Grade Very Hard To Find A Good One?

I'll say MS_67RD. Knockout.

Some flatness on the temple, cheek and beard. Some noise in the area around ONE CENT. I'm betting on luster, it probably shines.

66

nice strike for the year. the obv looks pretty clean. I'm seeing a flat area in the field below LIBERTY and some discoloration/spotting above the date in the field. TPG graders are sticklers for clean fields to get the elusive 67.

the reverse below the steps looks like there a multiple fine marks in and around CENT and the area above the N in ONE looks like a smudge. any or all of these on both sides can be enhanced by your lighting. I think its really close to a 67RD

if you send it in you'll need to be happy with a 66 or 66+ RD grade. you need to rotate the coin in hand and look these areas to determine if what I'm seeing is are actually there.

here are your numbers

MS66 - 287
MS66+ - 17
MS67 - 4

here are the only photos available at PCGS to compare
