Agree. Original coin appears circulated and possibly plated.

I've had trouble trying to get better pics but navigating with a shattered iPhone screen I have trouble. I agree with you guys that it's awfully shiny but my dim lighting could have caused that. I wonder what the chances are this guy of opening a proof coin package. Aren't proof coins shinier than regular coins. It probably isn't worth anything if he did

Will it increase the value if I take it out back and kick it around in the dirt. Don't think it would be hard to dingy up a coin . Lol

I'd like to edit the topic. Not sure why I put in Lincoln Memorial. Is there a way to do this?

How much is this coin worth in perfect unpolished condition?

You cannot "unclean" a coin, once it's been ruined, it will always be ruined.

About $175 in MS-63 or a few thousand more in MS-65 .

Dang, I wish I could tell for sure whether it has been polished. It looks like it's had very good protection for a century. How can I learn the different stages of the condition of a coin (ms-63) etc. There is a lot I need to know

How does one determine the condition of a coin with dirt and grime all over it. Couldn't grime cover up scratches

Can someone please tell me how to determine the condition of a coin without taking all the grime off of it?
