I am no grader, but it looks like it would go MS-60. There are a couple marks on the shoulder, and another on the eye socket.
I'm sure there are those who can do much better. It is a nice looking coin, however.

The color looks a little suspect, especially on the obverse, but it just might have to do with the lighting and slab. I would think a grade of MS61-62.

I'm thinking they might have given it MS63 RB.

The color does look a bit off but I think it's partly the photo and partly that a lot of the early Lincolns had a sort of lighter faded color (instead of deeper red) then if it gets some tone it looks like that.

Actually, I didn't even consider the color. Not having it in hand, and definitely not having that much experience with them, in general, I went only by the view given.
