yes, I know the issues with the grading company. But I got this because I like the coin, and it, like me, turned 50 this year. Is it a red? ms? No good at ul photos so sorry if this doesn't come out right first time.  |

It Looks red to me for sure. As far as ms goes, it is too hard to tell from the pic. Too far away. Is that a black spot on the coin?

Looks red, probably MS as these are common in MS red.....but it's not MS-70, more likely 63/64.

Here is another photo. Now, the scanner is not doing this justice.  |

I was going to say that it looks like a red but with the new scans I am not as sure anymore. There seems to be a darker area in the field right in front of Lincoln. The coin still seems to be MS though.

My Two Cents?...(for what it's worth anyways...) I say crack that puppy outta the slab and put it into a "happy-birthday-to-me" coin folder/album... Perhaps a special "mint-set" holder?  That particular coin is worth more to you than it is to anybody else... It's a "keeper"...  |

I looked for clean...didn't find anything that was different than any other pennies. Clean usually has a lot of micro scratches?

Looks very typical of the coins one would find in an MS Roll. Most of those are MS-60 through MS-63 with the occasional MS-64 or MS-65. The coin pictured is not an MS-70 most likely this basement slabber just bought the rolls for $8 each (about 16 cents per penny), put them in cases labeled MS-70, and then marked up the price by 800%. You can buy rolls online very cheap: http://www.cheapslabs.com/shop/inde...tail&p=49153 |

fenton nailed it! The slab means nothing, in fact, I'd be embarrassed to have another collector see I own it. LOL It you wanted to celebrate your birthday, buy a whole roll in MS red.  Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/
