Any small white specs are in the mylar.

    I'm also assuming there's much more mint lustre than is represented in the photo.

    Color is suspect if the photo is an accurate representation. Has the look of a pink (dipped) coin that has retoned.

    SEE the BULL!! BUY the BULL!! BE the BULL!! Do your homework first. And, you will learn alot!!
  • I often see Lincolns (that have not been dipped/cleaned) being mistaken as having questionable color. Bearing in mind, these are scans, not photos, I've included two examples of MSRD coins. The 1938-S is what I call "fresh out of the roll color", much like a 2007 you might recieve in change today. After this color, the coin begins to tone to the deeper red color of the 1939 on the right (then, eventually, the red/brown of the '25). Because of it's "pinkish" color, the '38-S might be mistaken as being dipped (But, it's all original. I have a PCGS graded 1938MS66RD, entirely the same color).

    I see MS64BN. The red color appears too toned down to grade RB.
