    Looks pretty good in the picture, maybe some light spots on the reverse. Is it certified?

    Coin is raw and is a gamble at best. We shall see what happens when I get it.

    It almost looks like it could be cleaned to me, but could also be the lighting in the picture. Good luck!

    Looks promising. I would wager MS62 from the pics, but you could end up with a 58. Let us know how it turns out!

    The big question is what did you pay for it?

    time will tell, depending on what was paid it may well have been worth the shot.

    and if not, not my business anyway image

    Definitly a scan. I've done it enough to know that copper usually looks worse in a scan than in person. You're either going to be very happy- or it'll be cleaned....I don't know enough to ID one of them based on a scan.

    My gut tells me I am going to be happy. We shall see. I am excited to get it in.

    I'm going to go against the grain and guess that the coin is recolored. I used to scan my coins and I can't remember a true red Lincoln cent ever looking that orange. I hope I'm wrong, though.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.
