Hey guys, I am waaaaay out of my wheelhouse here, but while rummaging through a Canadian collector's estate of US coins, this one caught my eye. Any idea what I am looking at here? Damage?

Definitely an RPM, and 002 seems like a match.

Well done. Yes that's an rom-002.
Even though this was out of your wheelhouse it is strong enough and you are experienced enough to see it. Congrats on all fronts.

I agree with RPM-002 as well, MM location also looks correct.

Thanks everyone. Most online searches I see are for sales of mint state examples. What would this one be worth in G or VG grade? To me, this coin is a G-6 grade, but grading well-circulated Lincolns is not my thing.

I'd grade it VG-08. Don't know whether these bring a premium.
