Nice coin and I love the look. I'm not a collector of moderns and I have a serious question. With mintage of 1.5 billion coins, is this coin worth anything and are you concerned that there may be hundreds, or thousands, or hundreds of thousands of finer coins out there? Again, to each his or her own, I am not trying to be smug, I really like the coin, and it even looks nicer than 66bn to me, but are these coins a thing?
I guess, like some Jefferson Nickel dates, there is a reason that the finest known is a 66.

For now it is the finest BN out of the top 3 firms. I’ll take that for now.

The key here is finest known for the color designation, there are several MS67 in the red color designation. Brown Lincoln cents are not very highly sought after unless they are very colorful. And even that is a relatively recent movement which came about by the heavy promotion of a few registry collectors and sets, and most of that has been for the wheat coins. So as you guessed there has not been a demand or a reason to submit brown memorial cents for grading. Even today I think the demand for brown coins, even colorful ones, is a thin market, for sure there is one just not a huge one.
With that said, I'm sure there are a few registry players that would pay up for this while it is a pop 1/1.

Your coin? Pictures?

My coin. Old bad photos.

You screen shot cert but then don't provide a picture of the coin holdered with the cert. Something wrong with this picture.

If you see it’s an order screenshot meaning grades posted today. TruViews aren’t immediate.

Congrats on your top pop!
Congrats. Just picked up a MS65RD.

Good, seeing the actual coin instead of a glam photo is quite nice.

More to your liking?

@AlanSki ... Congratulations on your top pop.... Nice coin... Now, if I can dig out a MS67...
Not really... Enjoy your really nice coin. Cheers, RickO
Looks RB from the photos.
My thought as well when I first saw the photos.
