Just got this in the mail today. Recent purchase from eBay. So I thought I would do a guess the grade on it.

I'm guessing it's a mellow MS65RD.

There most definitely seems to be a consensus in here. I will reveal the grade later this afternoon.

66 rb

think it lost a point or two for the obverse strike, so will say 64 and rb color for the reverse toning.

i bought a mess of these quite a ways back and all had about this look and were 65rd in somewhat older holders but still blue label.



curious to see what this one is.

I'll stray from the consensus here and shoot at 64RB. Seems to be quite a few 'chits' on Lincoln's bust. Also quite a few carbon spots. I know the TPG's hate them. Wouldn't be surprised to see 65RB or 65RD depending on what type of day the graders were having.



Great coin nonetheless.

Full red obverse and rev nearly so. I only see 3 choices 65 RD, 66 RB, or 66 RD to value the coin appropriately. 65 RD might be the closest to what it's worth.



I'll go with the 66 RB even though I think the coin is essentially 90% RED.



I'm a buyer of all 65RB's and 64RB's looking like this one.

Well you guy's were very, very good... It's in a PCGS MS65RD holder. I liked the subtle toning that it has and the surfaces in hand look very nice. I know the larger images do seem to enhance small hits. I Sniped it at the last moment and was shocked that the final bid only went up a dollar. My winning bid was a measly $50.00, needless to say, I was doing the happy dance. Then I worried that maybe the seller would cancel the transaction. He originally had it listed as a Buy It Now for $119.00!!

Nice buy! It's probably a $90 coin so you did well.
