Guess the Grade -- Toned Lincoln Cent

I'm stuck to the sick bed, so I'd thought I'd shoot a few quick pics of a PCGS-graded coin I've had -- GtG! I'll end the poll in a week. Note -- if you respond to the thread, please post whether you think the coin is BN, RB, or RD as well (if you think the coin graded). Assume there's no white balance issues messing up the pictures and that the colors/shades are what would be seen under normal light.

EDIT: The horizontal mark right below Lincoln's chin is on the slab, not the coin.

Ms 65 rb

 

Ms 64rb

 

Maybe I am missing something the other guys see. I see a 67rb.

 

I'll go with 66RB. Nice coin.

 

Beautiful

 

From those images, it looks to be a well struck, highly lustrous, lovely toned Lincoln cent. I voted 66RB.

 

I went 66.

 

I say the irregular yellow wash keeps it down a point from 66 to 65. An available date in full RD 66 and coins that are not roll fresh in this date run get harsh consideration at TPGs from my experience.

 

65

 

66 but I can't day whether Rd or RB. More on RD side IMO...from pic

 

I am sooooo, bad with copper I'll say 65 R/B but to be honest it looks better than a 65 but I'll still sand bag it and say 65 R/B...Very nice looking piece!! CHD

 

I am not that great at grading (in fact I'm terrible) but I see no reason why it couldn't make it MS-67 RB. Real fantastic piece.

 

Nice frosty fields! I like it!

 

I completely forgot to post the answer to this GtG! A big apology for my lapse in memory...anyways, it seems that half of you were spot on to the grade:




Booming luster and color gave this coin high marks from PCGS. Can't really see anything that detracts from the coin. IMHO on a good day this coin might be able to hit a 67!

 

Very nice coin....I would have guessed RB, I forgot to add that to my comment.
