This coin came from one of those "unsearched!!" penny rolls on ebay (exclamation points apparently required to suspend disbelief). The reverse was placed showing at the end. There's something going on around the ear. What do you think? Wear, or scuff?

The reverse seems really nice.

I was going to suggest a grade of AU 58, but then I saw this picture of a cent PCGS calls MS-63:

Looks okay to me. I'd give this one MS63RB I think the ear issue is just scuff from other coins in the roll.

Wow! I'm envious now! I have 2 that was both found in pocket change but no where near that beautiful! I'd be proud to own that!

I'd say MS62 RB. there's a scratch below the date and to the left of his profile that are somewhat distracting, but nice piece.

I'll go MS-64+ RB. I see only a few marks. May grade 65 depending on the severity of spotting and the strength of the luster.
