One of the coins that Daniel discussed was the 1969 D No FG. I have about 70 1969 D Lincoln Penny that are in Uncirculated to Mint condition...so I went through them. I found a No FG. It looks to me to be a mint state full red. But, like Daniel said, get some help before submitting to be graded. Any help you could offer would be appreciated.

Welcome Harvey.

I am glad you followed Daniel's advice. If possible, can you get a clear picture of the area where the FG should be?

I hope these are better to see. I have a 10X loupe and I can't see anything where the FG is supposed to be. I have about a dozen others that almost fooled me. I hope this is the one.

I can't verify this with images alone. You would have to show or send to someone in hand that has knowledge on coins like this.
