1910 Lincoln Cent...A Raw Coin.

OneCent

Admittedly, this is not the nicest looking Lincoln. It is a raw coin that I purchased very inexpensively on E-bay sometime ago. The photo was a scan and did not show the spotting as it looks in hand (whereas my photo does).

That said I think that the coin has original surfaces and would grade 63RB. What say you?

I think it could even go 64RB.

could go 64rd. Nice pick up.

Nice looking coin. Good strike. I think you got the grade right

I believe the coloration on the jacket and around Liberty will earn it a red/brown designation. With the strike and lack of significant bagmarks, I'd go a solid 64 IMHO. Shag

I think 63RB is a good expectation, because almost any surprises that came with getting it graded would be a positive surprise. Better to have modest expectations exceeded than high expectations crushed...

Agreed. What do you think about the coin, Ziggy? Original like I do?

You can't always tell from an image but nothing screams "messed with" or "recolored" to me.

64RB. Nice catch.

I think there's too much going on on the reverse for a 64. I say 63 RB PQ. I do like the skin and album toning.

I think the spots/fingerprint on the rev limit it to 63RB, but earns a PQ for the original surfaces.
