    Looks like some 'peach fuzz' goin' on on the reverse.

    Nice!

    technically 66 reverse obverse 65.6++++

    color and eye appeal 66

    Very nice. It actually looks excellent for the grade but not sure it would make 66.

    Fantastic addition

    Don't know how they grade Lincolns, but if that was an IHC, at PCGS, it would stay in a 5 holder because of a few very minor things on the obverse. Love the color & if all Lincoln Cents in 5 looked like that, I might want an early date for my type set!

    Lee,

    Looks pretty sweet from where I'm sitting here in P-town, also.

    If the pics are accurate, I'd say it has a very good shot for 66. If it were mine, I'd crack it and submit. I've seen many 09-P's in 66 holders that didn't look as nice. It's a $120 coin in a 65 holder but is worth about $300 or more as a 66. Definitely worth a $30 grading fee, IMHO.

    looking at your 09 i wonder...i just wonder how many 09's there are that actually appear to have lincolns other eye and brow showing???could just be the pic but he sure does have a 2 eye look there
    everything in life is but merely on loan to us by our appreciation....lose your appreciation and see

    Looks better than most 66s I've seen.

    I think that's a bump in Lincoln's nose just at the eyebrows. He was terrifically homely and had big mole-like things on his face and a bumpy nose.
