Given the photos posted, the coin appears to be a common, barely circulated '61 Memorial cent. Are you seeing anything out of the ordinary?

Not certain what you're attempting to find out, and from the photos, looks like a mint state Lincoln from a set or roll. Most likely the former, this would be perfect for a Whitman album. Value wise, a very slight premium above face. Graded it would be in the neighborhood of $20-25. So the fees charged by third party graders exceed this if that's a question.

If you can enlarge and rotate the obverse pic, that will help. Thinking this might be an indirect die transfer.

Yes, put it in a Whitman folder.
