Don't see any spots that I can tell. All of the photos are of a really nice coin especially, the reverse..  Looks MS-64/65RD to me. |

I would say MS-65. Very clean surfaces except that small spot on the reverse.

Very nice coin! I am no expert but I see the spots on the obverse and reverse. I don't think it will change the grading that is suggested. I would send it in for grading anyways.

65/66 RD
Only worth sending in if it has a chance at 67 - which I can't tell with the given pictures. Even with good pics, it's hard to say since luster and eye appeal would be the main factors between 66 and 67.

This is a super clean cent from what I can see. There is a spot of some kind under Lincoln's bust, not sure what it is. On the reverse I see a blemish in the dead center of the coin and something up at 2:00 under the rim? I'd say this is for sure an easy 65 but if we could get some larger pics, I don't see why it couldn't go 66 easily. This is tasty coin regardless! :)

Thanks for the comments. The spots that I see are the ones noted by rking007. On the Obverse right under Lincoln and in the middle on the reverse. They are much more noticeable in the pictures than to the eye, but the one dead center on the reverse is very noticeable under inspection.
Its hard to get great detailed pictures posted to the forum with the 100k restriction.
It is a great looking cent, just not confident it would get the MS67 with the spots and strike, but the MS66 is probably obtainable. The strike looks really good, but the only MS67 I have seen to compare has a stronger strike.

A couple of ideas to get larger pics...
Crop out all background, if not all, then make it square up to the edges. This way, your not wasting a lot of your 100k restriction on background. Also, start with size .jpg you want the final to be (800x800 for example). The software won't shrink them down. My images are usually around 2.5 megs going into the forum I think. I'm at work and I'll have to check when I get home.
Maybe try re-tooling your images like this, re-upload here and see what you get?

The spots would definitely keep it out of MS67 territory. MS 65, maybe 66, it does have a really nice strike.

The surfaces are very clean on this one. There are only a few small spots that are not very distracting. I would say this would make MS-65 easily, with a shot at a 66.
