I am not a copper grader, but I like that variety and have one of my own. I guess I would call that one MS64RED.

at least 65RD, very nice

cmerlo1 · June 3, 2011 11:58PM

65RD

AU55.

Based on the obverse picture alone, I'd say 65 RD but I wouldn't complain about 64 RD either. Nice coin

AUandAG · June 4, 2011 12:40AM

64RD is my WAG as well.

If luster looks good in hand then 65RD

Hit on the rim at 10:00 and the carbon flecks plus some traffic on the devices... MS63.

that was my first guess, but after just sitting there and staring at it for a while it looks to have seen the inside of a cash drawer.

MS65 RD

lcoopie · June 4, 2011 3:36AM

31.5 RD

there is room for improvement if you show the reverse

The pic is white washed to some degree, but assuming that it is not cleaned, 65RD. Mel

95 Scratch Rim Dent.
Other than that I would have said 65RD.

The color looks off to me. I'd guess the obverse a 64.

yeah i think it's ridiculously overgraded too

HA auction

Congratulations... I would not have guessed 67.... Cheers, RickO

I need to add another coin for comparison

will add PCGS opinion later
This coin is 65RD

...judging by the 'busy' face i'd say 65 red.

TPRC · June 4, 2011 6:24AM

That is a very clean coin. My reaction was 66+ or 67 red, though I don't collect Lincolns and the nick on the rim bothered me some. Still, very nice.

I was guessing 66 R since these don't usually come all that nice.

Any coin that doesn't appear in a mint set probably is tougher in nicer condition because the typical
die pair will strike no gems at all and if it does they'll probably be scratched up by the time they get
found. There are only a few exceptions.

Even a few of the mint set varieties are quite scarce in nice condition because all mint set dies don't
ever make a gem.
