Here is another nice coin from the lot of Philadelphia mint 1930s Wheat Cents I purchased on ebay.

It has great luster and a bright copper color. The mark across the bottom of Lincoln's bust is a die crack and not a scratch.

Please feel free to share your thoughts on this coin.

I'm not convinced the scratch is actually a die crack. based on the photos it appears to be a staple scratch. the only way to tell is in-hand rotating the coin OR give us a close-up straight on and at an angle. fairly clean shoulder and lapel. a little scuff on the forward edge of the lapel

i think the obv field scuffs/discoloration along with some small ticks on the high points of the profile will hold this one to MS63+RD

Not a fan of the obverse, which holds it to MS-63RD for me.

I think he said it is a die crack because he has it in hand. I'd say MS-64RD, nice lot of Lincolns!

Lots of marks in the most visible places, MS-63RD.
