1966 Lincoln Cent

Is this coin been cleaned and if not what do you think the grade of the coin is?

Any information would be appreciated.

I miss the green carpet. It doesn’t look cleaned to me, but there are some spots. I’d say maybe 64 or 65?

 

I can bring the green carpet back if you like.

I seem to be challenged in more ways than one.

Thank you for your comment.

 

Before your next post, learn to crop!
Put your coins on white paper, too.

 

Yes, please crop your photos, the back ground is immaterial to me. but a flat surface is preferable.

 

Doesn't look cleaned. There's really no value in these modern mass produced coins.
Now the 1875 CC cleaned 20 cent coin, that is nice.

 

Not to pile on, but I do believe the cropping issue has been brought up before. Believe it or not, those requesting you do so ask only so they can better assist you.

As for the coin, it's not at a level where any grade is really important. This doesn't mean it's not a nice or perfectly collectible coin, but only that it doesn't make much of a difference.

That said, why do you think/ask if it's been cleaned? Is there something about the coin that you question?

 

It doesn't look cleaned and it looks in MS shape. Oh, I don't know, MS64.

 

Cropping helps, but it's not essential (unless one needs bigger eyes [and OP does provide 'large views']. Such things come in time with experience........that said, 'said' coin looks very similar to varied stuff that I squirreled away in manila flips when I was younger. Those coins developed monumental toning and look nearly similar to OP's. The coin don't look 'messed with' and I'd grade it at '63.......

 

Have you ever tried to view such "larger views" on a very small phone screen? If not, it's oh so fun scrolling back and forth, up and down, desperately trying to find the coin island hiding somewhere in a sea of background.

 

Agree

 

Phone Screen? What the devil is that?

 

Something I often regret the very existence of, and in oh so many ways...

 

Agree

 

Nothing better than a 'laptop' or 'desktop' for viewing........

 

Yet here a laptop sits unused nary five feet away from me....

The pocket devils are truly evil, evil things.

 

Resist the force......one must resist the force. That said (and I only say this under condition of anonymity) the only Iphone in this family belongs to my wife, and she hasn't a clue how to use it. For that matter, neither do I........

 

I've never had a cell phone. And life is good.

 

Thank everyone for your comments.

 

For questions like these where a grade is being asked, cropping your photos, shows us readers and viewers a lot more details. can you try it?
