1958-D lincoln guess the grade

What would you guys grade this. I know it's a really common date, but the luster is just awesome.

66 Red if it were a tougher date such as 54-P it,

66 Red if it were a tougher date such as 54-P it would bring a fortune.

I think that will make a 66 and probably red.

63-64RD (too many scratches to go higher).

Wow, you guys are generous. It may have nice luster, but it also has a lot of hits: MS63 RD maybe MS64 RD on a good day. The bad thing is there's a LOT of hits in the obverse focal fields. Those fields go a LONG way toward the final grade.

Nice luster on that one.

Before I saw the other grades, I was going to say MS 64 RD. Quite a few dings in Abe's coat and in the right obverse field. Bad Thad knows his Lincolns so I am glad to see I was around his grade.
Great luster and a good look -- enjoy it. Thanks for the pics.
