"One culprit is the obverse design.
The base of the bust is in this area on the opposite side of the coin and is fairly deep. This "depth" can impede metal flow into the devices you mention while being struck."

Welcome to the forum! I would save your money on this coin. Coins like this are plentiful and this coin shows scratches, dings and surface imperfections that would not grade out.

Welcome, good first post.
The pics are fine [better than many that I've posted].
I would concur with mustbebob with your coin. If it were my coin, I would not get it slabbed/graded.
Unless you have some money burning a hole in your pocket or it has great sentimental value, it would not be worth the cost.
If the coin was in perfect shape meaning no nicks, dings, wear, etc. it might be worth it but, that is a common year and somebody probably had it in a collection and released it back into circulation.

Welcome to the forum!! That's a good first posting of pics in my opinion. You'll get better as you go along! As the guys said, not worth putting in plastic though.

Thank you all, for the warm welcome. I appreciate you guys taking the time to help me out. Especially w/ me being a coin noob & all. I compared my coin next to the pic I took & I'm thinking maybe I should have another photo shoot w/ my coin. Because like I said before, it really doesn't do it justice at all. The coin has bright orange & red tones. It's almost metallic looking.

I hope that didn't come off rude or that I am doubting any of you. So please forgive me if it did. I truly appreciate all the help! It's my fault. I shouldn't have posted the picture until I was satisfied w/ it! Just excited about my first post..that's all.

Welcome to the LCF MJBTGLIS! It's okay to post more photos of your coin if you would like to, and we don't think you are being rude at all. It is a normal thing for these Lincoln's, especially the shiny ones, to make photos difficult to take.
One thing though, we are not supposed to post any photos from the internet on the forum without written consent from the owner or author of the photo. So, please remove the photo you posted from the internet on Post #7. Again, no harm done, everyone of us were brand new when we first started and you will learn as you go
