I'd ask Rick Snow's opinion on the coin.
Indians really did tone this way, though.

Beautiful coin but I'm questioning the photos. Is this a David Lawrence coin?

No. It is a specialist in small coppers and sold the most expensive Lincoln Cent ever sold. Shouldn't be too tough to figure out who it is based on that.  Anyhow, this coin is easy to find online and is being offered for $1K. I only see two sales of this coin on Heritage. One in 2012 for $1.5K and one in 1996 for $200.

I only buy my high end IHC's from Rick these days. I don't trust any other sellers anymore when it comes to IHC's to either grade them correctly or to be honest about their surfaces and color.

It is a BN proof coin but the photographic conditions that enhance the color also make it almost impossible to offer an accurate grade. The color hues are what you would expect for a nicely toned proof IHC  |

I don't see any flaws, so I'd say easy PF66 BN, possibly even 67?

exceptional coin. could be as high as PF66. according to PCGS RB is 5% or greater red qualifies. I think this probably qualifies

Well, for someone without a lot of experience grading these, you nailed it with many others. PCGS gave it PF66 BN.

Went to pick this one up and it looks like someone purchased it. Post pics if it was someone on these boards. Congrats to the lucky new owner.
