1964 Lincoln Cent - What Grade is this?

This was a nice find in an old bag of which 70% of the coins in the bag were 1964-1966, various conditions, but several brilliant reds 1965-1966. Not sure if there is machine doubling on obverse of date and In God We Trust.

    A fun find that would look good in a penny book. :)

    Hard to tell for sure but it looks like it may be in the MS-63 to 64 range.
    Machine doubling on trust.

    Thanks @ifthevamzarockin - I was thinking it might be 63 - but I just starting to learn grading, and that's even harder for me than doubling identification. :)

    Yep-machine doubling. And very difficult to grade with that image. It's not high enough to have slabbed, that's for sure. There is a decent doubled die reverse for the date. Go here-http://www.varietyvista.com/ to have a look.

    Yep...machine doubling... and not worth grading. Could be a good album coin if doing a cent series... Cheers, RickO
