I went with MS65. The luster looks very good, and the cheek is really clean, just a little mark on the chin and a few hits in the field. I think...
I'd say go with whatever catches your eye. Also, maybe consider a book about a coin/series you're interested in. A Guide Book of Lincoln Cents

The metal polish is a different seller. This seller is known for edited, overexposed pics, and rather generous grading. The pics in that auction...
For what it's worth, that coin looks properly graded to me. While DGS wasn't a well known TPG, from what I've heard and seen, they were very...
