Here's another Lincoln Cent I own. Do people think this would grade MS-65 Red if I were to submit if for grading?

It is a full red coin.

Thanks for your opinions.

Thanks for the opinions. I had this and the 1913 listed on ebay, but after selling a nice 1926 Lincoln that the buyer had slabbed and graded by NGC as "MS-66 Red", which was a total surprise to me, I thought that I had better ask opinions about these coins.

Needless to say, they're not on ebay anymore.

I think I will spend the money and have them sent off to NGC.

I have one more nice Lincoln I'll post later to get opinions on it as well.

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't grade MS-66.

Beautiful Lincoln Cent!

Thanks for all the comments. I've decided that it's worth the money to ship the 1913, 1909 VDB and the 1918 to NGC and see what they say.

I'd love to have the 1909 VDB come back MS-66 Red!

I agree that this is at least an MS-65 coin. It hurts my eyes to look at.

I cant see any reason why this would be less than MS66RD.

The coin is heading off to NGC tomorrow along with five other coins. I'm hoping all those "MS-66 Red" opinions are correct.

The coin is in the mail on its way back from NGC.

My fingers are crossed. I'll post a photo when it arrives next week.

I know I can check the grade online, but I'm stretching out the suspense a bit longer.
