What a nice Lincoln.  Beautiful color, nice strike, MS-63-64 Are those scratches on the shoulder section? or are they on the plastic? |

Very nice lincoln you got there I'm going to say MS-64 but better pics are needed.
I need to start upgrading some of my browns to reds. I'm down to only needing two more to finish my collection so I havent really been working on it much

Definately on the shoulder, those are planchet scratches. This happens on weakly struck Lincolns and is NOT wear or damage. It's one of the diagnostics I learned from Bowers.  Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

MS64RD. The reverse strike looks much better than the obverse. I'd think it has a shot at 65 but seems a touch short of gem.

I'll give this one a MS64 RD for now until the nice pics come it might go up or down :) Strike looks good both obv and rev to me. Almost always see the planchet scratches.

What's really cool about this coin...when I get it, I'll have 1929-2008 MS RD! Next up is the 1928D MS RD! Completing the 20's in MS RD has been a HUGE challenge. I'll run out of money before I run out of time. LOL

Nice. Your plan is the same as mine once I complete my XF-AU brown set from 09-34. Slowly work my way backwards again. Those MS coins in the 20's are nothing cheap!

I will agree with the MS 63-64... call it 64.
Very Nice!
