    I will post the grade after work today.
    @desertgem
    Yes the coin is a beauty and the deepest red/ I have seen on a wheat, I will say that the saturation was set to high. The purplish highlights aren't there. The coin was a beast to photo through the slab, and I wasn't shooting it again.:)

    66 RD+ because of the weak 0 in one.

    I'll go 67. Cuz i want it to be. Such a nice coin it would mezmorize any grader.

    I can agree that for most Lincoln's this would top out at 66. 39s is quite a bit harder to find with a sharp strike, and most are without the booming luster that this one has. IMG_0001.JPG I am quite happy with it.

    I'd say I'm wrong, but that would be admitting I'm wrong. It's over-graded!

    Don't worry I'll say it for you, "your wrong". There are many 39S 67's with a weaker strike than this one, not to mention the red and the luster. You are entitled to your own opinion though.

    With PCGS, the jump from 66 to 67 is all about luster. The slab image shows that luster. Nice coin.

    Gorgeous Cent!! I would have guessed 66RD maybe 66+RD depending on the generation of slab. But I certainly can see this as a 67. That luster is astounding. I throttled back on the grade just due to the price jump from 66 - 67. :)

    I thought it was 67 red too. Gorgeous luster and absolutely flawless fields

    Part of this deal was 11 of those 88P Morgans. Made about 5 bucks a piece on those. So, this one only cost about a Bill.
