I've attached some photos of this particular coin and would like feedback as to what the community would grade this. I've posted a few coins over the last couple of days and I'm finding the comments as to why individuals grade the way they do to be extremely informative.

I appreciate it....

The photo appears over-exposed, so take my comments with a grain of salt.

The surfaces may be damaged and/or re-colored. The details are XF at least and maybe AU but I can't tell for sure. The strike looks good and it's difficult to see the cheek/jaw separation which is likely all there judging from the wheat lines.

Surfaces suspect, would take an in hand look to tell what's going on....but looks around MS-63.

Would be a good idea to take pics with the coin out of the 2X2.

It looks like it's probably uncirculated, but it's difficult to tell due to the lighting. Looks like you have two lights placed at 9:00 and 3:00 relative to the coin. I find that one light at roughly 11:00 usually does pretty good for the obverse of Lincolns. Also, you'll get better pics if you take the coin out of the 2x2 to photograph it.

Based on the pics, I'd say it's probably MS63.

Too much light, I agree with the others, coin has to be out of the 2x2 to really grade.

Also, looks to have been artificially recolored.

Looks like it has a coating of oil on it.
