Sometimes an original brown Lincoln Cent catches my eye

Bought raw at a show and liked the look. I know the naysayers will say common date not worth the grading fee but it has the right eye appeal for me.

    I see no issue with grading that one. Very nice!

    That is a nice cent.... and a great TruView. As a kid, I was intrigued with the 1919 date, for some reason.... Just a personal foible.... That is a good grade as well. Cheers, RickO

    The colors and toning pattern are very attractive. It is a nice coin regardless of its market value.

    It has been graded. He probably looked up the cert number, which is in the picture.

    As ChrisH821 speculated, I looked up the grade via the cert number.

    That's a nice one. Its worth putting them in plastic if you want them to stay that way.
