  It's obviously in a flip. I suppose I really should take it out but this way I can't have an accident.

  Very nice, strong strike, looks to be at least a 65, probably 66 shot 67.

  It appears to be a solid 65. When I grade Lincs I look at the high point of the cheek bone, and the tips of the wheat ears for sharp detail. if yours are particularly sharp then a 66 is possible.
  
  if there is frost then a 67 is possible
  
  Ive seen a lot of high quality 1926 philly cents, also 1929 cents and 1933 cents.
  
  let us know how it grades.

  My eyes must be worse than I thought... looked like a '36 to me not a '26....
  Anyways, FWIW I'd call it a 66 at first glance. Nice coin.

  A nice coin like that should be in a nice holder to protect it.

  No, your eyes are not bad. It is a 1936.

  I can see why many people collect this series. Nice fresh Copper sure can be pretty.

  You have to buy a matte proof, and then you'll see a pretty penny.
