Very attractive toning and "wood grains". You take great pictures. I'd be curious about how the alloy problems appear at 30X.

Ok folks it's time for sugar coating a magnificent toned woody Lincoln .
As nick10 said '' they don't get much better then that '' . MS-66+ . Eye appeal 10/10 .

Very nice die state coin.
MS-68 red
https://www.PCGS.com/cert/04039260
10K coin
MS-67 red
https://www.PCGS.com/cert/45838879
$500
MS-66
https://www.PCGS.com/cert/42341436
$50
Anything less than MS-66 would cost too much to be graded. Tough call on this one.

Thanks everyone! While I think 68 would be a stretch, and 67 pretty unlikely, I do plan on submitting to PCGS with trueview as surely it can at least do 66. Maybe next fall I'll get it back from them and update this thread (sorry, sarcasm, as they take so, so, so long to grade coins).

Great looking coin.

It brought to mind the infamous London fog and the way it flows across Lincoln's bust.

Well since we did talk a bit about grading this one, I'll fill y'all in. Just got it back from PCGS and it scored a stunning MS64RB. Kinda like half of everything I got back. The last submissions I've had returned have been a dismal display of undergrading and failure to correctly attribute varieties. I've even got two perfect coins that went details - wheel mark but have not a scratch on them. I'm baffled and it's driving me crazy to have to now send varieties to an attributor to get a letter so that PCGS can do the job I am paying them for.

That stinks! I'm hearing similar things from others and from other TPG's. Quality control is out the window too, like with everything else in the world right now.
