The white flecks on the coin are from the flip I took it out of and I didn't see them until I was looking at the pictures.

I think this is an EF-40 coin. In order to get to EF-45 (according to the ANA Grading guide) some luster must remain and I don't see any luster in your photos.

Is that a piece of lint between the N and E of ONE, or a die crack?

I think this is EF45. ANA Guide says some of the mint er may show for 45, which to me sounds like it's not required. Obverse looks even better to me but wear on the wheat stalks leaves it below AU, I think.

That's a very solid AU coin. If the pictures were better, I might even go into low MS. I can't tell if there's wear evident on the cheek.

I must say, that ANA guide is WRONG IMO, if it requires mint luster. I've seen MANY MS grade Lincolns that were brown, I own quite a few. The grade for Lincoln's has NOTHING to do with remaining mint luster and everything to do with evident wear....end of story.
