The photos are a bit dark on the bottom half ..... but ....
I see no hits on the fields ...
There is something strange going on under the nose?
The wheat stalks appear to be full and intact with detail .... except for the minor bag nicks at the ends of both of them.
Something strange and possibly significant to the grade happening on the reverse with the smeared 'L' in Pluribus and the obvious smear/scratches on the 'O' on ONE.
All that said ...... being a rookie here ...
I say it is graded PCGS MS66.
Nice coin JimR.

If there's a rub on the cheek and temple, AU-58. If not, MS-65. Nice coin!  |

Weak strike, that area is opposite the highest relief area of Lincoln's shoulder. Those marks were on the original planchet and were not completely obliterated by the strike. I will go with MS-66RD, definitely  |

Wow...beautiful coin Jim! Great pics, but it's tough to capture the luster with any camera. At this level luster really becomes important. I am jealous of your thru the slab pictures! I think biokemist is on to something. MS-65 RD to be conservative. |

To me it's a border line MS65. It has carbon spots on the front and the O in one is poorly formed.

It all depends on the area around the temple. If they do not think that is a rub, MS-65 as Thad stated, conservative. Hard to tell from the pics. Simply beautiful.
