Looking at the coin again, it's very close to being mint state if not for a bunch of chatter, nice key date coin though, love the reverse, great looking wheat stalks.  |

Agree 58, even though the obverse is kind of weak. Nice coin!

Apparently I'm just not seeing the circ rub that is getting everyone to give this a 58. Looks fully MS to me, and I'd guess 63 Red, although the obverse does have a pretty light strike.

I'm not understanding the AU grades here...my first instinct was MS-62-63. Very nice looking coin!

Changing my mind. Agree the red surfaces alone would merit at least a 63, even though I don't care for the strike.

On second look, I think the toning and plastic are making things look a little odd. It's a little hard to read the luster. 64RB - even if PCGS says differently. These 09-S's can have some weak obverses. Here's mine that most everyone on the forums (before I had it slabbed) called AU. I think it's worthy of a CAC bean. It's the nicest "62" I've ever seen:    Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

PCGS grades it MS63RB. I have looked at a fair number of these and this one is close to a Red and close to a 64 in my opinion. A lot of 09-S's seem to have a little woody action going on and this one has a bit of that which shows up in my original pictures looking like a little "noise". Here's a shot of the slab trying to capture the luster and look of the coin; one of these days I am going to need to get a permanent lighting setup done.  Thanks everyone for their input!
