  I have this 1921 Lincoln that looks golden. Sol Taylor in his Lincoln Cent book says that the 1921 Lincoln tones more often than not to golden. I was hoping for opinion on grade and color designation. The coin doesn't have the orange pink color of obviously cleaned coins. Need help

Please post large(er) sharp photos--will give many of us a chance to better evaluate the coin. Looks like a nice one--given the images so far.

Looks like a beauty but larger and cropped photos would tell more .  |

 A nice coin in what appears to be very good condition, however better pictures could help. |

I'm thinking a TPG would label it BN. |

Looks BN to me as well, but may well not be uncirculated to start with.

Looks BN to me, but not sure if uncirculated due to picture quality.

I can't grade based on these pictures, but you say it yourself it toned to a golden color, therefore, it's not going to classify as red, and depending on how the toning is perceived by a grader, to the eye, under correct lighting, it might even classify as brown, and not red brown. but that's also hard to tell from the picture although my gut is saying it getting brown.
it's not about the actually color of the toning but the degree of the toning and red is "as minted surface color with no or minimal toning" and brown is "little to no original as minted color left" RB is everything in between those two extremes. if the entire surface is gold toned, it's certainly going to get a brown designation.
Might even get dinged with Questionable Color by some graders also if they just aren't sure of NT or AT.

It looks brown to me from the pictures. It maybe a little red still. But it looks like a nice coin!

I'm guessing it is an au BN coin.
