    Trying to get an idea on grade for this 1954 S Lincoln Cent. Any opinions are welcomed. Thanks in advance for any input. I'm trying to put pics on, if I somehow mess it up, I'll try again.

    That nick on the collar hurts. I would guess 64, but you might get lucky and get a 65.

    Leadfoot there is no spoon

    Can you retake the photos not at an angle, but directly perpendicular to the coin?

    My first reaction was the coin's color appears quite unnatural, but the angled photos make it near impossible to tell.

    64/65 red.....and what leadfoot said. Angled pictures are fine, but should only be used to SUPPLEMENT the perpendicular pictures.

    Would love to say 64, but I think with the collar nick and multiple contact marks I'm going with MS_63R
