    That's a keeper, VF20 would be my guess!

    Ding ding ding, we have a winner. Look at the cheeckbone seperation, look at the wheats. You sir have posted a perfect VF-20 example.

    Years ago that would have been a VG10.

    VF-25. The cheek and jaw are clearly separated, and the wheat lines are full. The weakness
    in the wheat grains keeps it out of a higher grade.

    VG-10 seems a bit harsh.

    I like VF20 too. And this example looks very nice! If you own it, congrats. The '14-S is a pretty cool Lincoln.

    edited to add: I see you don't own it (yet). $25 is a good price. VF15 or 20 is only a couple of bucks. If raw is what you need, jump on it. If slabbed is important you might buy one already holdered and come out ahead financially.

    I'm in the F-15 crowd, as the wheats just don't quite get it to VF. Still, a really nice coin, and hard in any attractive condition.

    I'd say VF-20 overall. The very clear separation of cheekbone and jawbone are generally indicative of a VF grade. Some might downgrade it to F-15 because the wheat stalks may not be 100% complete, but even so, it has enough eye appeal to fetch VF money.

    I don't think there's ever been a time this would have graded VG.

    I realize I'm way in the minority here, and this might be an issue with the photograph being too bright, but I don't like the look of that coin at all. It looks to me like it suffers from an old cleaning - there is too much dirt pooled around the devices, especially around ONE CENT, the bust and in the folds of the jacket. It also looks unnaturally glossy to me given the amount of wear. I'd grade it F-15 details but I would not want it as part of any circulated set I was working on.
