It could be just the lighting, but it looks cleaned to me. If it's not cleaned, I'd say 63RD. The luster looks too dull for a 64. Heck, even a 63RB is worth some serious cash!  Is it raw? (I think I see the edge of a 2x2 in the obverse pic) If this one isn't certified, it would be worth sending in (if not cleaned of course). |

Although PCGS may have got it wrong, that's a MS-66RD.  |

As I've heard on this forum many times, high grades are all about the luster. Since the coin is not radiating that luster, I would give it an MS64 RD. Otherwise it would probably go at least MS66.

I really underestimated that one.  It's worth some big bucks, that's for sure! Did they give it RD or RB? Numismedia 65RB - $5,160 65RD - $97,500 |

I'll help Thad out here with the slab pic. Since PCGS has only graded 1 1926-S Lincoln MS65RD and it sold on Heritage a couple years ago for $106K+, here she is:  |

I keep looking back at this coin and thread.
Beautiful coin, no doubt.
If this was a 36 P, would it get the 65 RD grade? I don't think so.
One thing that I have to continuously remind myself of, the top of the grading scale is MS70....and start there, not the other way around.
Obverse has a hit in the field just to the right of his nose, a minor doink in the cheekbone, and a smudge in the field between Liberty and IN.
Reverse has a spot between the right wheat and the rim, a doink on the N of one.
Now, go back to when this coin was struck and the state of dies during this time. This is a superb strike. Excellent detail in hair, quite a bit in the beard, superb wheat stocks, and sumptious fields - especially on the reverse.
So, overall, this is 65 Red.

I like to save pics of surpreme Lincolns when I run into them....this coin is extremely exceptional for the issue and it tends to challenge the perception of an MS-65RD coin. Acloco - Wheats actually start at 69, there's none graded higher. Apparently the grading standards say it's impossible to have an MS-70 Wheat cent.  |
