I'm hoping for full red. That's how it appears to me.
Glad you like it, my friend!

MS66RD. when you get it in hand look between the C and E on the reverse. the angle of the pic may be hiding some surface issue. hope not as its a beauty

I noticed the dark spot over N in United. Just a very special coin and date/mint. For the grade, I would confirm: NBVM

I received the coin today and took some photos. There's a tiny carbon and toning spot up against Lincoln's forehead and another between the C and E in CENT. There are some small marks on the O and E in ONE. Still, a very nice coin.   Paul Bulgerin

Looks like the sellers images were photo-shopped. The reverse from your photo brings the coin down to MS64.

Interestingly, the spot on the N in UNITED in the seller's photo isn't on the coin.
I got it for a reasonable price, so I'm fine with its flaws.
There also appears to be some die polish vertical marks on the reverse. They are under the struck up parts of the coin.

I don't think that's the same coin at all. None of the rim marks match nor do the hits on the 'O' or the 'E' in 'One. There is a carbon mark on the 'N' in 'United' on the original pic and none on the new. I call the new on MS63. Great pics by the way!

This is MS63-64Red.
A nick on the head and some hits on the reverse.

I've written the seller and asked it is the same coin. I pointed out the differences between the two coins.
Again, I didn't spend much on it, but will not be happy if the coin I received is not the one in the auction photo.

The photography hid the obvious bag marks on the 0 on the reverse.

If this is the same coin as in the auction then this is a VERY GOOD LESSON learn for me, comparing the photos. I will wait for updates on the seller's respond.
Thank you very much for sharing.
