The coin, particularly the obverse, looks clean enough for up to a 67. The luster, however, is a bit of a head scratcher. Looks muted in the...
Anyone?
Going to make reservations for Friday night at 7PM. Please sign up here and I will follow up with a PM detailing the location.

Luster impairment in fields leads me to say 58. Probably not what you wanted to hear, and I certainly could be wrong.
Weakly struck 45 or 50. Too much luster to grade lower, IMO.
Marauder, I have NO idea the value of that coin, but my, what a looker!
I know you didn't say it. I was asking a question. :) Tell me, what % of Lincoln's in toned 50's sets are blue? Compare that to the frequency...
Tough one for me to grade. Outstanding luster from worn die is obvious -- 66 or 67 level. Chatter on high points on obverse seem to limit grade...

p.s. a cheaper alternative -- something like a Pillar Dollar -- would be a great alternative. They certainly circulated in the USA as much or...
If we are discussing US mint issues.... My first reaction to the question would be a 1798 large cent. It's going to be a pricey coin, in the...
I was going to say the same thing. I'll guess $1800 instead. Tough coin to value -- the next grade up it's a $5k+ coin.
Certainly time is one difference. So, in some cases, is the temperature. So, in some cases, is the % of sulphur in the surrounding atmosphere....
