NEW PICTURES Does this coin look cleaned to you? If you think it's original, what grade do you think it would get? It is full red by the way. if you think it's cleaned what do you see that makes you say that or is it just a gut feeling?   Edited by grospoisson

I'll say AU-58+. This coin is straight graded as full red no alterations and UNC so take you best shot. I can never seem to get the full red color in my pics. I try not to filter or make adjustments. You will be surprised at the results! |

I'm thinking a strong MS64, given the photos posted. If I had the coin in-hand, my assessment might be different. I'm not convinced it's been cleaned--at least not in the last several decades.

poor photos to grade from
MS64 maybe RB. does not have the look of an RD coin
coin does not look cleaned however there are multiple little spots on the obverse in front of the profile and on the shoulder that could corelate to something being splattered or aspirated on it.

I tried to post better pictures but it's through the plastic but it's graded full red. I think the grade will make you scratch your head. Edited by grospoisson

Based on the scratches/scuffs I would probably go xf45

 Something doesn't add up to me. I know the reputation of ICG ! I thought they were decent on altered coins. Either this coin has altered color or grades more than a 61. |

I trust IGC with Lincolns, the pictures aren't telling the story here.

I am so gun shy about the correct color that's why I sent it to ICG. It would not sting as much if it was altered color and I didn't have to wait two months or more for the grade. |
