I just find it very difficult to believe that a potentially such a rare and VERY valuable coin could be "found in a roll". Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

Looking through ebay found ones that look just like that for around a grand, wow. I wish I could I could find rolls of pennies like that. I find some nice ones but I get the rolls from my mom. We started back in the sixties putting all our pennies in five gallon glass jars, I still have one and a half left to search. I have only gone through about half of one jar because she mails them to me from Wisconsin. A lot of mint marks. |

Ah ok. Good to know. Hey, I feel good about my estimate of the grade, even if it turns out not to be a legit roll find. Reading through all the past Lincoln Cent grade submissions is paying off I guess. |

A Google image search found this. And if you look closely at the OP image, you can see where the upper left area was altered in software to remove the "coins" part of the googled image. Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

phankins11, yes for a mint state coin,
one important factor affecting the grading is whether there is interruption to the lust, the cart wheel effect under the light. If you can see the complete cart wheel, it can be graded to MS65. Otherwise it will bump it down to MS63.

The coin in the OP is Fairview Coins' technique down to a tee - lighting angles, odd white balance, exact background color. And the weird area in the top left corner where Fairview's logo was sloppily removed in postprocessing. In fact, it's so close, Fairview's currently selling it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1926-S-Linc...em3cda140e93This is not_cool, man. |

Hmm, makes me think that this coin doesn't belong to the OP either  |

The OP could have better prefaced this with "the tooth fairy dropped off an old wheat roll and look what I found!" instead of some goofy story about finding a thousand dollar coin in "an old wheat roll" enhanced with scammed altered pictures.

I believe I've seen enough. Sorry, folks, he's not going to be around to explain this. Just for the record, this member who claims in their profile to be a female from New York City is actually a male from San Diego. We've known this all along; just awaiting enough rope to tighten the noose.
