Recent purchase at a small coin show. Grade? It is raw. May or may not be sent in for grading - not sure yet. $210 is the price I paid.   |

 Very nice! Some dings and scratches on the reverse, nice mint luster! IMHO, MS-63 RD |

MS65?
I've never tried to grade a Lincoln before, so forgive me if I'm way off.
Top of the "O" in one on the reverse has a scuff. A little bag marking around the rim edge, and a couple of very light marks around "United States of America".

A nice coin with a good strike, color and luster. There are a few scattered reverse marks, but the obverse looks clean. I think it could make MS-65. Whether it's "Red" or "Red Brown" is hard to tell from the photos. I'd lean towards "Red Brown" because there appears to be some toning in front of Lincoln's bust.

Very nice Lincoln. not sure what's going on at very top of reverse. or is it just a shadow.
the scuff on the upper left side of the O in ''ONE'' on reverse is very typical on wheat cents. not much you can do about that. obverse is: MS-65, reverse is: MS-63.

Solid 64RD per the previous comments may slide to 65. BEAUTY!  |

63
I suspect it's not red but RB and the pictures are lying. I would have been more comfortable buying around $130 based on those pictures. Hopefully, it looks more like a 64 in hand.

Stunning MS-64 Red. There's sort of a spot in front of Lincoln's chin but it's so slight I still think it would grade Red. Sweet coin. |

MS64 RB based on the images. It might look better in hand.

MS-64RD. A generous grader might give it a MS-65RD, but those few scrathes on the reverse will probably keep at at 64RD. Great coin |

64RB. Might be worth sending into ANACS on one of their free grade deals, just to see where it stands with them.
