Just started to organize my Lincolns after 50 yrs of not looking at them. Thought I only saved wheats back then but found a roll each of 60 & 60D that I pulled out of circ. They all are the same color but unfortunately some have fingerprints from my youthful handling back then. My ? is, would these make MS grade even though they were circulated for a short time? The pics are scans, they are brighter in hand. Thanks for any input.

It is my opinion that they could be UNC, but not MS.

UNC isn't really a grade, doesn't UNC technically mean MS? I think they could probably be MS. Harder to tell with scans though. But I think I see luster even in the scans. The first has a bit of wear on the reverse on the steps, not sure if that makes it AU or not. But I'm sure several of your coins will be at least low MS.

UNC is the lack of an event. MS means no wear.
I don't think anyone is going to call these AU.
As for red, you hold the coins :) Scans are tough on color.
If you have rolls of these... that's a good thing :)
