I received this coin today. While I'm always leery of artificial color on high grade cents, the areas of blue/violet toning on the right obverse field and rim and bottom of the reverse make me feel more confident that this coin's color is original. The strike and luster are great. Opinions, please.   Paul Bulgerin

I like it. Is that an above average strike for the year? John1  |

It looks original to me. Beautiful coin!
I wish my Lincoln's in the teen's and 20's had original mint luster on them.

I don't collect anything even remotely close to this series,
but always marvel at something 100 years old and yet still looks like the day it was made.

Thank you for the responses. I won this coin for $5.50. The seller's photos left me wondering if it was original, cleaned or recolored, but I thought I'd take a chance on it.
The seller also was offering a 1910 Lincoln, but I didn't bid on it thinking it was probably a problem coin. Now I am second-guessing myself.

I'm gonna lower to 64RD. There's a big hit to the left of his mouth I originally missed

To my eye, brass toned examples look nicer than red / brown toned examples.
I agree with previous opinions on grading.

Looks very similar the the 1930-S I just picked up, which PCGS graded MS-65 RD. So I'll say, drum roll, MS-65 RD! Very nice coin.
