Just can't quite get over how clean and the color on this coin! Just bright. Some of the back looks weak. Or a bit mushed. Was just looking for opinions on grading

Nice Lincoln. Hard to be certain with the glare but I see possible wear on high spots (cheek, wheat stalk). I'd say high AU 55-58 - is that a hit on the reverse O or grease/strike?

The center photo makes the coin look cleaned but the others don't. MS-64RB.

lighting on 1,2 & 4 are altering the look of the surfaces. photo 3 I'm betting is what the coin looks like in hand. would like reverse photo using the same setup. without that its difficult to call AU or MS. worst case AU58 imo. I can see it higher than MS62 if its MS as all the luster is gone.

Looks like the slightest of rubs on the cheek, upper jaw and on the left wheat. From these pics I would say high AU.

Realistically, it's probably a high AU cleaned piece. Market wise, it would probably straight grade low MS (excepting for CACG).

I'll go with AU. There seems to be light circulation wear, on the cheek.

The Coin Vault was selling them last night in MS64RD. Make sure to flatten those staples.
