I'm uncertain about the date or I should say the 3 in the date...  ..however looks like a wonderful example,just wondering about the left wheat lines are they flattened or defined/separated? Photo shows some flattening.....  Edited by Greasy Fingers

I think I would call it an MS 63

Is that rim damage on the obverse from 1-2 o'clock, or just a lighting issue? |

I'm seeing a few rim digs on the obverse, some very minor dings elsewhere--given the photos as posted. Very nice coin! MS63 for me.

Not so sure. Repeat my question - is that rim damage at 1-2 o'clock on the obverse? Can you give us a close-up?

Given what I've seen you post before, I'm gonna guess it's pretty top grade, looks pretty clean to me, slight Nick on Lincoln's cheek, full red.
MS-66 rd
@coinfrog
I think the plastic is a bit a big jagged, that's my guess.

I am wondering the same thing about the obverse rim . Half of it looks like rim damage , the other half looks like the plastic is damaged . Can't give a grade at this time .  |

Assuming the rim issue is on the plastic holder, which appears to be the case, this one is up there. MS-65 or better.

The Rim issues is actually on the coin. It seems raised, what could that mean? A scratch would not be raised correct?

65 RD IMO, can you get a close up of the rim?

The Rim issues is actually on the coin. It seems raised, what could that mean? A scratch would not be raised correct? Agree it's the rim (not plastic). If you follow the inside rim line from the last T in "TRUST" and go counter-clockwise, it reaches the N in "IN" My guess here, is a possible broadstruck planchet which is considered an error (not environmental damage) By Definition: A coin that is struck outside the collar. The collar is the retaining ring that establishes the final diameter of the newly-struck coin. My assertion could be wrong with this coin, but you can find many examples on the net by googling broadstruck penny. |

If the rim is not damaged, looks like some plastic to me... 65-66RB That's a stunning coin, it should be in a TPG holder. CONGRATS! Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

Still don't know what's going on with the rim. Can you give us different pictures with some close ups and angles?

Give us some close pictures of that area, it's really hard to see in the given picture. Now that I look closer, it looks like a genuine mint error to me. It looks like the collar was failing, the rim is really thin on the east side. Appears as if the damage is from the die itself to me. I'd post it in the errors forum with better pics of that area. |
