Great info. I bought a couple that were marked MS65 and they look okay, but lack the luster that was discussed. The plating doesn't look thick and as a matter of fact, through a loupe, it looks like a little rust is showing. I think they've been reprocessed though. __________________ lincoln64   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk? Coin Talk Code of Honor 1.
