grospoisson Pillar of the Community United States 984 Posts	Posted 01/12/2022 08:22 am I came across a bu roll of 1967 Lincoln cents and everyone is pretty good. As several of you know I am trying to complete my own set of submitted coins (expensive I know) . The 1965 thru 1967 years are tough with the SMS coins out there. I have succeeded in getting a 1966 in MS-66 . Just working on the other two years. There are a bunch of 1967 Lincolns like this in a roll and I just grabbed one to give you an idea of what I have. My question is "does this look like a SMS Lincoln to you? Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19969 Posts	Posted 01/12/2022 08:57 am It is not near sharp enough to be an SMS. Looks to be at least 66RD, shot at 67. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19223 Posts	Posted 01/12/2022 09:00 am Nice coin, but agree with BadThad. I'm thinking MS66-67 as well. Report this Post to the Staff

Thanks BadThad, I actually have several that are mark free. I was in a hurry this morning and grabbed one off the top for a pic. So maybe I can find a 67 . How do you stand on this year? Good?

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18706 Posts	Posted 01/12/2022 10:48 am it would have to come back at at least 67RD to be worth grading. I think the reverse strike will hold it to 66. I guess you need to decide if you want to take that risk. kind of like playing red or black on the wheel Report this Post to the Staff

I guess you need to decide if you want to take that risk. kind of like playing red or black on the wheel I would not send this to grade because of the mark under the steps. If that mark were absent , would you then consider grading it. If you were trying for a 67? I really just grabbed one from the top five or 6 from the top of the roll. My odds are 1 in 50 that I grabbed the best one. I like the odds LOL Edited by grospoisson 01/12/2022 11:04 am Report this Post to the Staff

I'll have to physically check because I don't have a picture of it. It could be quite bad if I don't have a picture. I rarely photo coins unless I consider them a permanent part of my collection.
