in MS 63-64 condition that has great color. It has nice plum toning on both side. I picked it up in a So. Cal. coin shop over the weekend. It is raw and now sits proudly in a Dansco Lincoln album I am putting together. It upgrades a circulated 1931 D and I bought it cuz I like the color (AT or NT, who cares, I like it and it was purchased with some extra dollars that were burning a hole in my pocket.

I can't post pics cuz I have not installed photoshopping software to reduce the size of my pics. PM me your e-mail address and I will try to e-mail you a pic of the 1931 D.
Come to think of it, I also have a plum 1967 cent that I pulled out of circulation decades ago. It has even plum color on both sides, except for the Lincoln Memorial on the reverse. It is dark brown in color. Really strange color appearance, but I only have $0.01 invested in it so it sits in my Dansco Type Set. I also have a 1955 D cent in MS condition that is fully red except for a rainbow streak on the obverse looking like a comet and comet's tail running from the rim at "N GOD W" down across Lincolns head ending at the rim next to "1955 D". It also is in my Type Set.
Toned Lincolns are way cool, I only wish I had some that look as nice as the one you have.
