Recently picked this one up, loved the eye appeal, not a giant fan of memorial cents but this was one I had to have.

I have no experience grading American coins but I'll take a stab and say MS66+, I Wana say RB because of the toning but I'm not sure how they work that in with colour designation.

I would say higher the only marks I can see causing distraction are on Lincolns temple.

I'll say MS-67RB. Looks better, but we all know "TrueView" pics are nothing of the kind.

That coin is real clean with clear fields and a nice strike.

I gotta say it would probably be a 67.

68 minus Abe's temple scratch, so either 66 or 67

Photographers who shoot TrueView pics should be lined up and shot, along with the PCGS morons who employ them.

They insult themselves time and again by showing fantasy images that help neither the seller, the buyer, or any interested party.
