And I think your cent is a 64. Lots of little nicks and spots plus the strike is soft to begin with drag it down. Report this Post to the Staff

The proofs from this year had frosted devices. MS-63/64RD Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15392 Posts	Posted 08/09/2025 07:12 am I agree with MS63/64 range. Not worth TPG fees to grade. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19118 Posts	Posted 08/09/2025 07:37 am I was intrigued by the 'shape' of the rims--deceptively proofy. Would love to see the piece in-hand. Examining coins is always a kick. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18640 Posts	Posted 08/09/2025 08:43 am coin is not there to send in. I'm not even certain that the coin is MS based on your closeups. the shoulder and collar appear to have some light wear. it may even had a dip but that could be your photos and lighting.
