I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

    Maybe it's just the pics, but the color looks off.

    As has been stated, it's hard to evaluate this coin with the color. If this is the actual color of the coin, it seems messed with. But it could just be the lighting of the image.

    White Balance needs to be set, it's off. Can't judge RD-RB. Alot of chatter in the right overse field, maybe a MS63. Mike

    It looks like it has rub on the high points and the color looks off. I will guess AU-58 cleaned-recolored.

    I think I would have to agree with those who say it has been altered in some fashion. It appears the high points on the obverse have been rubbed with something to darken the color of the coin. I went to this well before and came up with crap I should have known better with this guys coins. No one to blame but myself.

    I know absolutely nothing about them Lincoln cents which is why all my MS67's are so under graded to MS64's but, your coin looks fairly clean of nasty hits. My. Lincolns temple hair looks a little flat but again I know very little.

    There is some darkness at the back of his head which, depending upon what it is, may limit the grade. The reverse also has some spotting or at least thats what ot looks like.

    As far as the color goes, I can;t even comment since the photo looks like it has way too much yellow in it. Especially if thats a white background.

    I'd guess a MS64 but its only a guess. I'd for sure not kick it out of my house though!
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
