jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 06/28/2022 3:50 pm Scratches in themselves aren't able to make a coin AU. Wear of the surfaces is what drops a coin into the circulated grades. The more scratches on an uncirculated coin, the lower the uncirculated grade. For example, a coin with a lot of chatter, or scratches, can grade around MS-60 to MS-62. Something with cleaner fields and less chatter can grade around MS-63 and up. Your Lincoln Cent has a lot of scratches and chatter, so I would say it falls in the MS-63 to MS-64 range. Suffering from bust half fever.
