I just found this in a large batch of Wheaties I purchased. I would sure welcome opinions on its grade. Thank you very much!

The rims indicate an MS, the chatter is bag/roll marks on the highs. Because of the chatter and carbon spot and tone(Lack of luster) it's running at MS62 tops, but still a fine grade on a tough date!

Might look for this...@$190 if it's it

I'm not good at grading but, isn't there clear wear on Lincoln's cheek and the surrounding area (including the top of his ear)?

I'm still trying to figure out the standards. They seem pretty much like mish-mash to me.

AU-58 Red. I think it's 95%+ red and would hold red against RB.

At 8 o'clock on the reverse near the rim is a tiny corrosion spot. Get some pure acetone and touch that place with a tiny amount. Hopefully that will stop it's progression.

It's a great find in a batch purchase.
Rest in Peace

Definitely signs of wear - AU-53, possibly cleaned. The cheek is just too flat, numerous marks on devices and in the fields.
