I need better pics in order to assign a proper grade, but judging from the reverse will not make MS-68

Best way I can put it is this. Look at the photos, and ask yourself...does it look like the coin as it looks in my hand. Only way anyone can judge a coin, and the easiest way I can explain it.

Hope this helps.

From what I can see, it's looks about 65RD. Achieving a 68 is nearly impossible - a coin has to have every desirable aspect and only a couple very minor imperfections.

Compare your coin with PCGS and completed auction listings:

With respect, impossible to grade from these pics.

Thank you all for your input. I knew it wouldn't reach the elusive 68, but was curious what some of you more coin educated folks thought it would be. I'll attempt better pics.. any advice for achieving that would be great as well.

I think it's a very nice looking coin but, no, I would not get it slabbed. Whether slabbed or not, it would still be worth only one cent to me. In my opinion there are only TWO Lincoln cents that should/need to be graded.

Thank you! My next step is go look at a few in person. As I'm trying to learn photos can be elusive. I wanna see a couple graded to get a better idea.

Obverse field marks suggest 63 at best, imo.

Much better pictures, 63/64RD, could be details if that right, obverse field scratch is bad.

Reverse looks good, but there a couple pretty good dings on the obverse that may not be simply bag marks. I'd go 60-63.

Welcome to the forums! Certainly looks to be a MS-63 in my opinion, but as stated before the large scratch in the field left of Lincoln would give this coin a details grade most likely.
