Spot between "E" and "C" of ONE CENT on reverse might be to much to overcome. Otherwise a very good coin I think. If not please tell me what am I missing?

Photos may not be sharp enough (still a work in progress)

1981-Lincoln-To-Grade-But-It-Has-A-Spot.-Want-To-Send-To-PCGS?You might want to check again. I think it's awesome and will definitely waste my money. When it comes back I will be a man and post results whether it's good or not. I guess my camera skills need work. oh! the spot on the back was just dirt. LOL I took a chance and wiped it with a terry cloth, and it came right off.

Hits alone keep this out of the grading-worthy category. Check that gouge below WE and that honker before CENT.

Honkers are not held in high regard by reputable coin grading service providers.
Rest in Peace

The first set of pictures shows every little flaw. The last two more than likely best represent the coin. Why didn't you crop those?

The only thing the graders might not like is the MAD. It does detract from the eye appeal. I like it as a 67 but the TPG game is always rolling the dice at this level.

My computer updated yesterday and I couldn't find the button to crop. LOL. In hand the coin is remarkable. With a 10 pwr loupe I can't see the one or two very tiny marks. Not sure I understand the MAD . Damage after mint?Coin is very lustrous and sort of a greenish gold hue to it. Very attractive. One day I will be able to capture correct color.

multiple ticks on rims. not sure why your first photo of the obverse shows a pretty good hit on the top of the head under WE but it doesn't show on the others. if that is a hit and the reverse mark, this is not one I would spend $$ to grade. the strike is decent. maybe MS66 but thats stretching it imo

Now, if you can just take that same cloth and remove the spot from the title...

The first two obverse pictures look like two different coins. Odd how lighting can make rims look so different.
Great looking coin - Good luck
