I think PCGS would slab it at an MS65 RD ! DOES ANYONE ELSE THINK THE COIN HAS BEEN CLEANED ? Edited by AlexanderBiwald 02/17/2014 2:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 02/17/2014 12:01 am Looks nice - hard to really tell from those pictures, the color is odd and I can't see the luster. This is a VERY tough date to find a coin struck that well. The 64/65 grades are rare. When I see a 25S like this raw I have to wonder why it's not already slabbed since they go from $4000-10,000 in 64/65 red. My guess - 63 questionable color Lincoln Cent Lover!

bakerskyline8 Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 02/18/2014 12:50 am I agree with Jayman. Something looks weird with the mint mark and date. The S looks really close to the 2. Report this Post to the Staff
rking007 Pillar of the Community United States 784 Posts	Posted 02/18/2014 01:47 am I was just going to ask the same question. That wheat stalk has some funky tick like marks going up the right side and yeah, Jayman, I see that ring around the mint mark too. Otherwise, it sure looks nice! I'd say Ms64 for me. The marks in the field in front of his head kinda distracts for me. There are other little dings too but it really is a nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff

I didn't notice it at first but once I saw the comments, the mint mark and left wheat stalk do look strange. I'd take it to your LCS and have it checked out before submitting it.
