Very nice woody I think you will find that it has alot of deep violet color, I have a 1927P that could be a cousin of your 1920.

I love it!

It appears to have luster. I'd say it's likely MS.

Beautiful looking 'wood grain' Lincoln, looks like a MS-63/4 to me.

I had a hard time capturing the violet but it is in the darker brown areas.

Bio, awesome coin. Gotta love the woodgrain look of these cents.

One thing I noticed in the picture of the 1920 is that it looks like the "R" in LIBERTY is bigger than the rest of the letters... Any thoughts on what may have caused that to occur? Looking forward to seeing it in hand to see if that really is what I'm seeing

It's an optical illusion because the aspect ratio is completely off in the picture.

Hi, Dave.. If you could post a pic of the 1920 straight on would be able to tell more.

The cent arrived today and I am thrilled. It is actually much lighter than the picture shows and has tons of rolling luster on both sides. There is a lot of ruby & some darker purple toning on the obverse, and some darker purple in the streaking on the reverse... but not too much to distract from the overall beauty of the coin.
