No. Too many spots. Looks more like a 64.
I would say not. I'd leave that guy raw. The coin has to basically be perfect to get an MS67.

I would say no due to spots and a few contact marks. My understanding is that it is very difficult to get a 67 on these. I have a similar thread I started about a 1958 cent Here if you'd like to see the opinions there as well.
Side note: Can you crop and resize the pictures to a reasonable size? I like the detail in your pics but only about 25% of those pixels are needed

That would not 67. Here's a different year but a 65 for context, so you can compare...
Not in this space/time continuum.
I predict it would indeed get slammed

No way. Too many hits.
No, it's a 64.
Nope 64 maybe even a 63 because of the spots and hits
HAPPY COLLECTING
Opinions all over the board. Sent to pcgs, the final arbitrators!
Lol, why even ask then, send your money down the yellow river...
This isn't the OP

57 and 58 are impossible to get perfect strikes on. That's a 64. I've gone through thousands now looking for a 66. With 1954 to 1960 being so problematic, the coin really has to be absolutely perfect to grade 67. It is difficult.

You have made similar comments before. This is bad advice to be giving a new member looking for help. There are many people that can help screen for submissions. Not every coin needs to go to PCGS to have an idea of its true value.
That might be true were opinions truly "all over the board," particularly among the respected members here. But many experienced folks here can grade very capably, and have a handle on what the services like and dislike. And from what I can see, the consensus on this thread is strong and consistent: hits and spots will hurt this one, and it would not be economic to submit it.
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
Comes back with a top notch grade who's bellyaching then? Seems the same people who warned IWOG not to sell his commemoratives on ebay are the same ones who try to talk collectors out of submitting their finest coins to pcgs. Seems counterproductive and overly negative.
You have some good feedback and I would also suggest using the other photos available through PCGS to visualize the feedback on Lincoln's
Smash Down the Reverse of the Staples on your 2x2' s. Many coins get wrecked with staples that are sticking up.
Enlarge the obverse to many hits shoulder and head, plus the carbon spots
maybe MS 63 at best.
Careful smashing the staples. It's easy to accidently hit the coin. a super gem immediately becomes near worthless!
No HAMMER. needle NOSE WORKs GREAT.
Could be a 65 but it is hard to tell from images. Compare yours to CoinFacts pictures from 56-D and other D mints from the 50's and that can help you figure it out.
Given all the spots and the few hits, I see it as a 63, maybe 64, as well. Definitely not a 67.
Sorry to add on to what appears to be the consensus. I don't think anyone means to be rude by it, we're just trying to be helpful with some advice so you don't waste money submitting it.
Honestly I would call it an MS63, too many spots and hits to grade higher.
Welcome.
I would not send that in.
Keep digging.

@anthonypacy.... Welcome aboard. To answer your question, I will also say no..that cent is way below an MS67...lucky to make 63/64..... However, that being said, you did the right thing by posing the question here.... Grading can be very tricky and takes a while to learn - even then, it is subjective. Hope to see more of your coins..... Cheers, RickO
Welcome . . .and as Ricko said above, despite some responses seeming a bit 'direct', you did the perfect thing in posing the question. If you ignore the outliers here, the majority opinions will be quite accurate and reflect what must be a thousand years + of numismatic experience at all levels. Tapping into that knowledge base is always a wise thing. It is perhaps the main advantage of the PCGS Boards.
Have a good one . . .and keep up the search!

MS67 are worth hundreds of dollars. Why would you NOT want that graded?
A better image of the coin would help when judging any piece. My suggestion to you would be to purchase an ANA grading book and look it over. A lot of knowledge will be gained if you do so.
I do like your enthusiasm .
Carry on.
It took 25 posts to welcome the poor guy. WELCOME fellow Lincoln collector!
As stated, not a 67 and that green thing inside the C is not good (it's in the coin, not crust on the coin). Don't give up.

I had a roll of RD 56 Ds I bought thirty some years ago. Eventually I sent it in. I got bulk grading where if it wasn't at least MS 66, it wasn't graded. 31 of them got into MS 66 holders. NONE of them got into an MS 67 holder.
These coins were all no-brainer RD, no spots, no PVC or verdigris, etc. As someone else above wrote, it's almost impossible to get one of these in a 7 holder. That's why you have such a price jump between MS 66 and MS 67 re late date Wheaties.
All of my MS 66s had one or two minute tic marks you almost had to look for to find.

It's a game and they own it.You would have to send in
an MS68+ to get your pop 1 in 67. submissions =money.
Thanks for the insight guys
