I'm upgrading my grade to 66. This one's easier to look at than I gave it credit for I think.

 

66 RED at least.

 

I do agree that the coin has now gone RB. I am trying to see what you two see. Where are these big gashes of contact that @potty dollar 1878 and you see? There is a slight bag mark on the collar of Lincolns shirt, some slight on his lower jaw line. But even in hand you have to look for them.

 

Reveal early afternoon.

 

Love the toning, beautiful coin, MS-65. Could be higher, thank for sharing.

 

Soap Bar slab. Planchet marks are known for Lincoln's shoulder and the lapel has two marks in the design. Here is an example that I like ro show the rough planchet marks on the shoulder and the 2 marks on the lapel that are common on all Lincolns wheats.

MS66 RB on the OPs coin.

 

Okay

ms-66 red..

 

Heck, thought at least one of 'em was a button hole...!

 

It is. Like I stated above they are part of the design. Go to PCGS or NGC. The PCGS MS68 42-D plate coin has rough planchet shoulder and the 2 marks that some are calling "gashes".

 

Sorry folks, I was having trouble with my internet yesterday.
Anacs Graded this one a red. Seems the holder or just time has turned this one to Red Brown.

 

still looks red to me, and i was spot on with the grade, a lovely coin you have there..

 

The slight greenish yellow tone on both the obv and rev. Is what makes this a RB.
