The reverse has a slight counterclockwise rotation and the left wheat ear is a bit stronger than it appears with a few portions of the wheat lines visible but not quite as strong as the right side. The line across the bottom of the bust is not on the coin.

I will post the grade on Wed 2/25 to give you a bit more of a chance to grade this key coin, and I will then be listing it for sale here

G4 is the best I can see this coin grading.

I would agree G-4, but market grading tends to effect this coin and it would not surprise me to see it go higher. Great coin.

So hard to see it...so I'll use that as the excuse that I'm waffling between G6 and VG8.

Okay, I turned the waffle iron off. I think it has a 6 on it.

Very good on the G6s
Normally that level of fine tuning in grading is not necessary but of course it matters dollar-wise when dealing with a key coin- Numismedia lists G4 @$222 and VG8 @$282. Unfortunately, I have not quite mastered photographing slabbed coins so the attributes that bump the coin to G6 are not too visible- a bit of ear left on Lincoln and a few sections of wheat lines are still present.

Cool...

Don't beat yourself up on the photography aspect. Heritage has not even figured out how to shoot a brown penny ( ducking for cover ) inside of a slab. Not enough light reflecting back out.
