    Yeah, What red is left is a very rich red/orange. I have no problem with the color of this one.

    What do you think it will grade at? Photograding is as much a guess as anything. There's NO substitute for having a coin in hand.

    I think that she's an all day 65... if I get lucky they may 66 it because of the color on the obv I was unable to get photographed.

    My first impression is 66RB,because of the great looking obverse. I am wondering though about all the black spotting on the reverse.(looks like someone was having a pretty long conversation over the coin):rolleyes: Also what is the spot on the reverse on the back side of the E in ONE. I think these things along with the minor fingerprint may keep it to a 65. Still an awesome looking coin.

    Matt, without reading any of the above replies I think it could be a MS-66 RED or RD BRN. What is all that activity at Lincoln's
    front face. Clashes or.... I love that cent.

    Sharp and fully struck. The fields look clean. I'll say 65RB.
    If it is as I said plus extreme luster it may go 66RB...not a common grade.

    Wow... well I have to say that I am quite amazed. This coin was bagged to "Artifical color"... I have to say that I whole-heartedly disagree with the assessment of this coin. This coin has some super original album toning on the obverse... NGC has really puckered up lately. Wow... I'm kinda speechless. I will be sending it to PCGS.

    NGC is being just crazy the past year with their artificial color kick! I've had quite a few come back that there was NO WAY and so has my dealer. I call BS on NGC for doing this...repeatedly. I willing to bet PCGS slabs that coin!

    Wow, that's nuts... and PCGS is usually harder on toned copper than NGC.
