Definitely not, there are some pretty heavy hits on there.  To get a grade like that, you can't have those.

Not to mention both pictures show basically the worst way to handle a coin.

That's what I was going to say. Showing us a pic of a supposedly really nice coin sitting directly on a human finger is like showing us a pic of a Michael Jordan signed basketball with a knife stabbed into it, or a Mickey Mantle baseball card slapped onto a receipt spindle.

I've lost track of one of my comments concerning this handling issue to one of our members in the past, not sure if it was this same member I advised on this but this is absolute death to a nice Red copper coin!!!!!!

Can you explain why you think this coin would deserve such a lofty grade?   From your question I get the feeling that you have never seen a high grade Lincoln coin.   Before you ruined it with your fingerprints on both sides that coin could not have graded any higher than MS63 red/brown with all the spots, stains, and marks/hits.

Agreed on all counts.  There is no way in this world that coin would ever approach anything like an MS67, let alone MS69.

Lots of damage and marks. Barely uncirculated.

I never thought I'd see the day.  This is like a Marabou Stork and a Shoebill in Africa just meeting up, looking at each other and deciding to roost together instead of doing what they usually do:

Enjoy it while you have it. It’ll likely remain a rare experience.

I know.  I'm certain you and Roger will be back to dinosaur fighting again soon enough.  The boards just wouldn't be right without it, I have to say
