It was Secure Plus graded like this in 2010.

 

The strike is actually quite good as is the die state for a mid-20s Denver coin. I always though the tiny pin scratch in front of the nose and ear caused the 63 grade.

Wonderful strike on that one Lance, clearly looks RB and I can only guess that the obv scratch was deemed PMD and given a 63 as a silent net grade??

That maybe true also but look really close at the beard. One other thing is CAC has been tough on every 26 I have sent in regardless of the mint it took 4 26s s before one passed and I have not been able to get a d or a plain pass yet.

I guess I'm in another camp. To me the beard looks terrific for a mid-20's mintmarked cent.

 

Here are some other decent strikes of that era at branch mints. How about that beard?

Lance here are a couple I sent in and they did not pass the 1926 may have not passed due to the shoulder it is a PCGS 67 rd. The 1926d is a 64 red the photo does not show it well in hand it is a definite red. I think the spot on the rev. stopped this one. They are on my replacement list
