I bought this 1933 penny and its in really good shape I was thinking it was a MS 65 or better because there are no scratches or marks. I looked at this coin and put it in a 2X2 coin flip so that is why there is a fingerprint but it is not on the coin itself.

please look at the pictures in the google slides there is the whole coin and close ups of it.

Please post pictures.
Not everyone is going to open an attachment and not everyone is on Google.
Also take it out of the 2x2 if you are showing pictures.

Hi there
Saw pics. Certainly a better grade, but not brilliant (red). Also pics are dark and agreed...need to remove from flip.
Couldn't give an honest opinion with current pics. Suggest getting "in hand" opinions from other collectors whose opinion you respect.

have some photos and yes I agree that it is not fully red but might be red brown you just have to have a good amount of light to see the red.

We need to look at the whole coin, not through plastic. I see some small dings on the rim. It won't be a 65.
Sorry you must have posted the whole-coin pics while I was typing. I don't think that it will even get to R-B.
