Just purchased this commem. To add to my ever evolving type set. GTG.
Seems as though no one guessed correctly. Makes me kinda scratch my head as to why. Graders must have given it extra merit due to the extreme luster and excused the obverse marks.

Welcome to the wonderful world of classic commem collecting!
I will venture a guess at 64 for this nice looking coin but I cannot generally grade most of these. obverse has some hits, reverse is clean. Enlarged photos might make the marks seem more prominent than when seen in hand.

Ill guess 63; pretty big reed mark on the cheek and some chatter in the fields and on the forehead
64.

I think the photo needs another light.
63
One of my top 10 favorite classic commems.
Thanks so far everyone for your guesses and input. My photos and lighting certainly aren’t ideal. Coin looks better in hand and the marks certainly are more pronounced in my pics.
64

I'll also go 64
I'd venture a 63 for this one. As mentioned the chatter on the obverse, but what caught my eye was the reverse...what's going on under the D in United? Clean fields on the reverse otherwise.
I like it...
Nice coin, good luster for a Lincoln. Despite the hits behind the nose and the slide marks on the jaw, it could be MS 65 with today's grading.

MS-65.
64
Great looking coin, one of my favorites in the series!
I’m stuck between 64 and 65. I’m going to guess there may be a few marks hidden in the dark areas that I cant see and it graded 64.
Thanks so much everyone. Will reveal the grade tonight so get your guesses in now
65
The reed mark makes me want to say 64, but as others have said commemoratives seem to be graded with more clemency and 65 wouldnt surprise me.

I grade the photo MS64. The coin might easily be an MS65......
No more guess the grade for me. I think from now on, l’ll just play show and tell.
Way cool 😎
I have a 66 as well👍
Thanks. I’ve always admired this commem. especially the reverse. There’s so much going on.
I think the coin is GORGEOUS! I’m a sucker for super lustrous coins!
Congratulations.!
