1961 proof Lincoln Penny

I just wanted to share this one I'm fixing to post on ebay. But man what a stunner. What do you think on the grade?

PF63, possible 64.

 

Not the greatest pictures for grading, I'd guess around 64

 

It could go 65-66BN from the photo

 

I don't see any flaws can you help with the problems you see?

 

I think it's the photos that you took. There is too much glare from the light source, and the lighting isn't even so there are dark spots. I think a better photo would do the trick.

 

Thanks for the comments Iv'e already posted it to ebay so I won't handle it anymore. I really just wanted to share because I thought it was a beautiful coin.

 

That is considered a cameo or deep cameo ? I only posted it as A proof

 

How do they get these different colors? This is a different coin .

 

Hard to tell... but I would say it isn't a cameo.

 

grade could be up to MS-65!

 

For a proof?

 

Are we sure it is a proof? The visible edge doesn't look even for a proof. Some think if its 'shiney' it is a proof.

 

While I agree with your statement that some believe it to be a proof because it's shiney, I was going by Dave's second and third images in his opening post that show the rim to be squared, comparing it to a 1960 small date proof I have on my desk.
