I would normally call this one MS65 RB but based on your comment, I'm going to be crazy and say AU58 RB

65+, a 66 wouldn't surprize me but I can't read the luster from those pics.

I could be off about this but some thing about the luster, slightly granular surfaces, and sharp rims does not quite look like a business strike to me. I got a similar feeling while grading another lincoln a while back. That one, I had thought the luster didn't quite look like other business strikes that I have seen but wasn't sure what to make of it. I had guessed business strike but it turned out that it was a matte proof. So I am going to take a shot in the dark as I am not sure if it is or not and if it is, I am not very familiar grading proof lincolns. Whether it is a business strike or proof, it is a absolutely stunning coin!  PR-66 RD |

I'd normally say MS-65RB but I will look like a copy-cat, so I will say AG-3. I'll give you a quarter for it.

I don't think this works like 'The Price is Right' Skyshark... you can't bid $1. :)
