What do you think my key date 1914-D Lincoln Wheat Cent will grade?

Thanks!

    It's amazing that a key date was able to circulate for so long before someone plucked it from circulation. Very neat that it's so free of any problems after that much circulation. B)

    6 or 8, but the vertical scratch on Lincoln could be reason for a details grade.

    When in doubt, don't.

    I'll say VG...…..the lite scratch on obverse shouldn't matter at this grade level. JMHO.

    G6 here. I think the reverse is a little nicer but the obverse doesn’t quite make VG8 for me.

    Assuming it's authentic, I will say 8 to 10. I'd soak it in oil for a while to see if some of that verdigris will come off along with that green spot on the reverse.

    I would call it a VG. Looks pretty clean outside of the obverse scratch.

    8 if they are concerned about the light verdigris.
    Likely they won't be and it will be a 10.
