I'm only seeing two pics of the obverse.
Do you have reverse photos?

Dear God....you got this out of one of those bags!!?
You're scamming that poor dealer. LOL
These are TOUGH to find with any red at all. That's a GREAT coin you found! This is probably an AU-58, I think I see just the slightest rub above the ear, forehead and cheek...if any. These are well-known as some of the poorest struck Lincolns in the series, close competition with the S mints. I'd be tempted to send that in for grading because there's a huge price jump from AU into the MS grades. On a good day that could get an MS-63. A knowledgable grader would be impressed by the red. They don't come along very often. I don't think I've ever seen one with that much red....LUCKY YOU! That's a very special coin.

I should also add that it's well-struck for the issue. Usually you can't see the wheat lines on both stalks with these. Man, can you tell I'm exicted about that coin? LOL

I'm having a tougher time with this one. I don't think it makes the MS grades. I'm pretty sure I see a little wear on the high spots of Lincoln.
I'll have to go with AU58, which is still an awesome find out of a bag!

That's a great coin Thad! Looks like it has a Retained Cud on the bottom of the obverse. I don't see any wear on it. MS63RB? maybe 62RB? ...and those are only guesses. What do you think it would grade? |

What do you think it would grade? To be conservative, I call it an AU-58. However, I really think it's MS-62/63 so. I keep thinking about sending it in as it would be a fun coin to have in a PCGS slab and it's one of my favorites.  Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

Thad, That's one of those coins that is SO bad, you have to love it! I think it is a great looking coin and a supreme example of how much they overused the dies during that time period. |
