I believe this would draw a details grade for questionable color. Do you agree?

    That's such a nice example I would have to try. I have seen lot's of similarly toned early Lincolns make it in to straight graded holders at PCGS. 64bn with a shot at 65bn depending on how nice the fields are.

    i can't tell if its been tampered with from those images. perhaps others can. just for the record though, questionable color can come from the color toning and/or the coin itself.

    OP, Check out US Coin Registry, Lincoln Cents, Toned Lincoln Cents. Open the #1 set and look at the '25 and '32-d. Both straight graded and similar colors as yours. I did a brief look, probably find other examples.

    I think the color looks good. Not qc. ;)

    Your are right, those coins in that registry set look very similar. Since I have not intentionally included toned cents in my collection, I am not familiar with their characteristics. This makes me feel better. My current effort is to upgrade any of the raw cents that I obtained many years ago that would not straight grade. Thanks.

    I do not think it would get a questionable color hit.... The coin looks like a copper progression tarnish. This can vary due to environmental conditions. AT coins are not usually so subtle. Cheers, RickO

    I had a 1926-S come back from PCGS labeled "Environmental Damage". It was dark with a deep red color. I read somewhere that 1926-S was prone to exhibit that effect, so I shipped the coin to ANACS.

    It came back a slabbed AU-50.

    I think I got lucky...............

    I would have to see the exact shade of the yellow and oranges on the toning progression. I splotchy purples make me a little worried which might make the coin guilty by default being a 26s and the inherent price spreads involving color

    Worth the price of submission IMHO.

    From the photo it looks fine to me. Certainly can’t hurt to try.
