p.s. The rim issue looks odd to my eye. First thought, like others, was rim ding, but now that I look at it the denticles in the area seem...
Fine details, (presumed) rim ding, net VG
Although occasionally you'll come across pockets of these coins, it not so often at all. Back in the late 70's and early 80's it was much more...

That's the way original circulated copper looks.... When the areas of the fields and devices are the same color, be worried. When the high...
p.s. WONDERFUL n-6, BTW.
Because original large cents aren't common, and you have likely not seen enough to recognize one in a picture. ;) The red is a spot of...
