    If the picture is showing the true color of this piece, the coin is too pale. It is either a very brassy planchet or the coin has been dipped.

    No sure what to make of it, but definitely has a very unique look.

    Looks like an attractive Lincoln. I have a few that are very similar that came out of rolls, so I would say your coin acquired its' toning from an original roll.

    Here's one that graded 65RB:

    And one that graded 66RD:

    I've seen album stored Lincolns tone that way.

    "Thoughts, opinions"? On what...grade, look, originality, toning, slabbing likelihood?

    Looks like a nice, albeit common, gem '37-D. Worth about $30.

    I think the color's original but pictures can lie.

    The color seems off, and the blotches are distracting. not a bad coin overall but it's one I'd pass on.

    I would probably pass as it looks dipped out to me. Then again, pictures can be deceiving. Frankly, the value on that coin is so low, even in a 66RD, that you might as well try to find one that you like that's already in a holder.

    Bruceswar, Don't see the original mint luster. Possibly the lighting in the pic? You should know whether or not with it in hand. I don't like the splotches in the center of the coin either. Rim toning ok, but symmetrical. Shag

    That coin's color in the center, with ragged edges appears to be a stain,
    as oppossed to the coins 66RB presented, which have a smooth transition of toning.
    I had a beautiful 1916 Lincoln in a high condition grade that had a similar
    type of splotch and was bagged for "questionable color" by PCGS.
    If your coin is not slabbed it may not make it. JMHO.

    P.S. For those of you talking about the color, this is what this shot is. There is a ton of luster on this coin, but I chose a color shot. This is 1 of 2 coins I bought that were in old school David Hall Holders.
