its definitely Red, I don't see a spot of brown on it. I guess who ever had these coins knew a little about grading because they had this one marked MS-65+ RD on the 2x2. My camera didn't do very well on the picture but it is a pretty Lincoln
Rest in Peace

Nice coin, but will people pay the big money without it being slobbed?

I wouldn't consider $30 big money. It's definitely not in the price range where slabbing should be considered.

yeah not anything I would suggest them send off before selling (doubt they would anyway, they just want to get rid of them), I was just wondering how close the writing on the 2x2 was and since I know nothing about Lincoln Cents I figured I would ask everyone here their opinion on it

66 or 67 RD, depending on how many of those marks are on the 2x2 and how many are on the coin...

It's at least a MS-65. I think I could give that a MS-66.

When you get to MS-65 and up, it mostly has to do with luster. The brighter the coin, the higher the grade.

MS-66RD
