Unbelievably this was in a Whitman blue foldout book of undated Lincoln's all for $25.00 total! Of course this was the best find in the book, and was why I bought the book. This coin dealer (at an antique mall) just moved in right before I bought it. He went backwards from 1958 to 1929 with a random 1916 thrown in, and must have thought there was a 1932-S cent! (This was the by far best of the 4 Whitman books he had.)
I will reserve my estimated grade at the moment (this upgraded my previous 31-S), and let all of you confirm it or not .

I'll say VF-35, possibly EF-40.

Wow, nice coin! CONGRATS!

VF-35, I was on the fence with 40. The cheek/jaw are pretty flattened.

I was actually on the fence with this one, between a 35 and 40, leaning more towards 40.
