    MS 64 RED, maybe higher, would need a bigger pic. Nice toning on that one!!!!!! Nice coin.

    Tough with those pics but I'll guess 64 RB.

    I think that is an MS 63. It boggles my mind how copper can stay red after 100 years. I have no explanation how that can happen with an oxygen atmosphere.


    BTW - specifically Lincolns face looks washed to me.

    Doesn't it look to be too rolly polly to be a MS65?

    Can't you give us smaller pics, I can almost see these. Wait a minute, let me hold my loupe up against the screen. :D

    Just busting your chops for the small pics, Spock. I say this is 65 and up, all the way. The discoloration/toning in spots shouldn't affect that grade one bit. At least, IMHO...

    it only looks like that its a solid red coin. dont worry as we reach part 4 the pics become smaller and then from 5 onwards it becomes hazy as well. then at the end of round 7 i will tell you guys something that might give you some insight on how far your grading has come :D

    It is either red or red brown. That is all I can tell from those pics.

    I'll take a stab and say MS-66 R/B, but it is difficult to tell by the pics. There does seem to be a little too much chatter in the fields to go that high, so I'll say it's atleast a MS-65 R/B, due to what appears blazing color, strike (norm though for VDBs), and luster. Very beautiful coin man IMHO. :thumb:
