Looking for some feedback on this beautiful 1963 Penny. I'd say a MS 65? Looks like the grime preserved the steps perfectly.

    Don't you see dozens of cuts/hits/scratches on both sides? 🤔

    Lightly circulated AU. Extremely common. Cents of that year were hoarded in huge numbers. They continue to enter circulation when the original owners die and the heirs quickly dump all of the coins they find in the estate.

    All glory is fleeting.

    Definitely not MS

    Also AU at worst. No shot down to XF.

    Nice coin for a coin folder or album, not MS much less MS65.

    Almost as nice as mine. That gouge in the '9' is disturbing though.

    "Two things are infinite: human stupidity and the universe; and I'm not sure about the universe."
    -Albert Einstein-

    Mistakes are natural. But repeated mistakes without reflection are something else. That may be the “stupidity” he was referring to. In research, he admitted uncertainty openly. “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” This shows humility. Even a Nobel laureate accepted doubt. That humility makes the quote less cynical and more observational.

    it's got quite the number of marks on it. even if it were uncirculated it would not pass as a 65, but it is an au anyway

    even if it could pass as a 58, it wont pass as a 58+ so grading it hoping it will go into an everyman's registry set is low and it would be extremely cost prohibitive to grade

    you got a coi album coin. the brown skin on it is natural and attractive as a brown. don't disturb that color

    Welcome,
    Members post pretty change finds on occasion. A before shot would add interest to your post—description of how it was cleaned properly, perhaps.
    I spare the other members the comedy of my grading skills, though.
    You can share a coin of interest anytime.
