    Hi everyone and Happy Holidays,
    I came across this beautiful 1945 Lincoln cent. It looks like it is uncirculatedbeautiful red color (the photo does not do it justice). Can anyone give me help with the grade and is it worth getting graded.
    Thanks,
    Sandy

    Just a guess.

    I'm thinking 64 or 65. Not a coin to have graded in my opinion.

    Your pictures are a bit over exposed, but I would guess 64.

    It is a black spot. It looks like a coating is removed? It is in two spots on the back one on the rim and at the bottom. I am trying to get the exposure right on the camera, but it is not like taking pictures of my grandchildren. I am really just a "point and shot" type of girl coins are really difficult to photograph.
    Thanks,
    Sandy

    See, I bet your husband had some really very nice coins in his collection. I, beg the OP, to please continue to post the coins from his collection, and as we assist you with some grades, you can make a list, assign a grade and establish some market values. That is a very nice 1945 .

    63 IMO...
    Very pretty coin, less some small spots.

    lots of nick's and scratches, a die crack on the reverse, IMO about MS62-63?
