This is a nicer one. Seller photos, so forgive me there. 1937 Lincoln Wheat cent, looks 64RD-65RD to me? Is that too high?   Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D. Brandeis |

I could definitely see this at 65. The luster is sa-weet! If you go for it, put new pics up so we can see in the darker areas?

Could be 65RD, but the lighting might be hiding some marks.

With the pics, the only noticeable mark to me is the ding on the D in UNITED. There is also a less noticeable mark on the N in CENT. I think it's an easy 64, a probable 65 and may reach 65+ or 66. I'm no expert though.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Super watery luster. Exceptionally nice strike both obverse and reverse. No single distractions. Tiny mars on Lincoln's cheeks, a few taps on reverse. Way full red.
It's really a winner. I see a solid 65 Red. I just hope nothing is hiding in all the black at the lower obverse.

I think the discolored streak in the right obverse field holds it to 64RD.

I'm in at 64 with these pics, but reserve the right to increase the grade. Nothing near it will look "lustrous" by comparison. |

Sorry, can't change your mind once you've posted. Seriously, 64 or 65, little value here either way. Certainly not 66, which isn't worth that much either. |

I have an NGC (old holder) slabbed MS66RD (1937) -- to compare against this one -- I got this raw coin in hand today and it is easily a 64+ or 65, but not a 66.
Once I fix the burned-out overhead light in my office I will shoot pictures, I'm out of incandescent bulbs and am using a backup CFL until I go to the store on Sunday.
I paid 4 bucks for it, with free shipping, so I suppose "little value" is in the eye of the beholder since 65 books at 19, 66 at 30, and 67 at 120.
I do the best I can with my minuscule collecting budget these days to fill holes and grab the occasional beauty.

I would think MS-65 RD from those pictures.

Easy 65 by me. Any mentioned 'marks' are hardly worth mentioning except maybe for the mark on the D in United ... IMHO.
