  I think it's MS64RB but then, I'd say it's MS64BN

  it has some details of an ms coin including the right wheat ear tip which is crisp, but the lack of detail in the ear and beard is a concern. I dont think this will make RB, but it certainly has more color than a traditional brown... so maybe RB it is.
  
  when coins are magnified so much, surface marks appear to be a lot worse than they really are. so presenting such a huge photo is actually a disservice to your coin.
  
  I'd like to say ms62 but what appears to be a rub on the cheekbone, the flat ear and beard, and the color of the coin makes me say AU55.

  Either 64RB or 64BN, I get the sense the color is a little muted in your picture.

  I'm struggling with the color. Is the white balance off?
  
  I don't think that's wear...it's a typical 1920's mint-marked Lincoln.

  Imo, this is an unusually hard one to grade from the pics for reasons already mentioned.
  
  However, if I were buying this coin on the basis of your pic alone, i.e., the typical EBay use case, I would not pay more than high AU money for it.
  
  With the obvious obverse rub, I just don't think it's MS.

  I will agree with my fellow Lincoln experts and say it's graded 64RB. I do agree with the grade as it appears to have some nice luster left and a nice reverse strike but not gem worthy. I would call the rub on the obverse drawer rub, not AU wear.

  Imo its a very pleasing coin, the strike is quite crisp for a 20's D mint, and the luster look good. As mentioned there is a slight rub on the cheek and over the ear but that looks like friction rub from an album, to me I'd say 65RB but would not be surprised at 64 or 58 depending on the TPG.

  The coin is graded on Anacs photo certificate from 1982 asn MS65/65. I think what some of you are percieving as rub is some darker toning on the high points. The toning looks to be from an improperly mixed allow, almost a woodgrain affect. My personal opinion is that the coin is a solid 64RB by today's standards. I think the hit going through the E on the reverse keeps from a 65, but not by much.

  From the pics I agree. You've got the coin in hand and without booming luster, 64 sounds right.

  Relics - most Unc. copper I see are Large and Half Cents, with the occasional Flyer and IHC. Re color, these days, you'd better have greater than 20% RD on a coin or it's considered BN. When you got your coin, if was an old copper, it would have been graded RB. From the pic, unless they grade Lincolns differently, today I see it as BN.
  
  On an IHC, you can have a noticeable hit on one of the letters of ONE CENT and have it be an MS 65 if the hit isn't eye-catching (ie., I have an 09 P IHC in an OGH which is a PC 5 RD, and such a hit precludes an MS 66 grade). I don't know whether this is different for Lincolns.

  AU-58. Would not pay MS money for that coin. Definitely seen circulation
