Looking for some feedback on this beautiful 1963 Penny. I'd say a MS 65? Looks like the grime preserved the steps perfectly.

Don't you see dozens of cuts/hits/scratches on both sides? 🤔
Looks AU at best

Lightly circulated AU. Extremely common. Cents of that year were hoarded in huge numbers. They continue to enter circulation when the original owners die and the heirs quickly dump all of the coins they find in the estate.
Definitely not MS

Also AU at worst. No shot down to XF.

Nice coin for a coin folder or album, not MS much less MS65.

Almost as nice as mine. That gouge in the '9' is disturbing though.
If a picture wasn't going very well I'd put a puppy dog in it, always a mongrel, you know, never one of the full bred puppies. And then I'd put a bandage on its foot... I liked it when I did it, but now I'm sick of it.

it's got quite the number of marks on it. even if it were uncirculated it would not pass as a 65, but it is an au anyway
even if it could pass as a 58, it wont pass as a 58+ so grading it hoping it will go into an everyman's registry set is low and it would be extremely cost prohibitive to grade
you got a coi album coin. the brown skin on it is natural and attractive as a brown. don't disturb that color
Thanks for the feedback, I found this 63 to be worthy of sharing.
i love all coins even album coins
Welcome,
Members post pretty change finds on occasion. A before shot would add interest to your post—description of how it was cleaned properly, perhaps.
I spare the other members the comedy of my grading skills, though.
You can share a coin of interest anytime.
