Not the best at grading, so I won't give my opinion but a very nice coin!

I'd say MS66RB I don't see enough red to warrant a full RD designation. This is a super clean coin the fields are almost "unreal", free from anything distracting a big plus, as you don't see that very often. I do see a few ticks on Lincoln's face and a small rim tick @ 9:00 probably keeping it out of 67 and up territory. A really good looking coin!  "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

WOW... What a beautiful early Lincoln.  Got to be MS-65BN, had to call it brown as it hasn't enough red for PCGS to call it RB, and look at those Wheat Stalks... |

Aw, this coin is stupid. One of the finest reverses I've ever seen, contrasted by an obverse with a couple of blatant marks to those who have graded these for a living (ironic that you'd be pitting us, and yourself, against PCGS, ain't it?). Relatively weak obverse strike for the year, prominent marks on the forehead and left of the date on the lapel southwest of the date (yes, I'm evaluating this one for Superb Gem status). One notable mark at 5:30 on the O in ONE, and another in the D of UNITED. PCGS MS66BN, and undergraded at that. This is Condition Census for non-Red coins of the year. I would die to have this one in my collection; it's much nicer than the 1910 I recently called "the finest coin I've had under the lens of my camera" which made PCGS MS65RB to my incontinence.  |

For over a 100 year old coin, the hair on Lincoln is in fine shape, especially his beard. The marks in the O appear to be from the producion process. Wheat stalks are in excellent shape. All high points appear to be in almost mint condition. If it isn't a 68 is is undergraded. The color does appear to be bn.
The coin does have the look like it has been protected for the better part of its life and away from other coins. I don't see any scruff marks at all. It's almost like it was taken out of a mint roll the other day. It appears to be of exceptionally high quality.
