Grade this penny? Or don’t

It is really tough to try to grade from pictures, you really need to tip a coin around and view from different angles to check for luster. Going by what I see, I'd say it's in the AU55 range. Definitely wouldn't be worth the cost to have PCGS grade it, fifty dollars or so for a coin worth only a few cents. It would be a nice start to a Lincoln memorial cent set.

I’ll say AU58. I don’t like the fingerprint in the field left of Lincoln.

ok, I'm pretending I work for pcgs, but I don't know a thing about coins because I'm in management. I'll leave the work to someone who knows what they're doing while I pretend to know more than them while I basically do nothing except sit around drinking coffee and sending some emails and meaningless spreadsheets to justify my job.

I'd give it a C.
Bad hygiene. Nasty toning. And the fingerprint is atrocious.
Poor Lincoln's cheek and jaw looks like he leaned into a couple left hooks.

It's a one cent piece, not a penny.

That British term just keeps creeping in.
