as a very poor coin grader I am clueless about lincoln pennies that are not RED. (probably about red too, but not to point to this post) It is hard for me to see details with a brown cent. I have the typical coin grading books...but man when i look at these coins that are not red, i am off by a bit. any tips?

If I may interpret what you are saying, I'd suggest you consider pursuit of red/brown Lincoln cents, rather than either full red, or full brown examples. It seems you enjoy sharpness, and in my experience, on a reasonably frequent basis, the pattern of red-brown color can actually enhance visual sharpness.
