Well I did purchase a BU roll of 1948-S from an ebay dealer I have purchased from before, and it had laid here for a couple of weeks. So tonight since there weren't many hot exchanges, I broke the roll and started sorting. I know 1948-S aren't the sexiest Lincoln, but I am starting to accumulate some BU rolls in the 1940s.Over 60 years but younger than I. Here is the best and worse of the roll. The rest in between.

Jim If that is the worst you got, you did very well. The "best" looks to me like it has a shot at NGC 67. __________________ The monkeys stand for honesty, Giraffes are insincere, And the elephants are kindly but They're dumb.

One of Best ( except common degradation of the O in ONE on reverese) some tone. A nice filling, including the mm. At first I had these 2 in the damaged category, until I looked closer and saw it wasn't a cut in the coin, but a die gouge, same one in both. The segregation from MS-60 on left to 65 on right.

Your coin mark is a die dent or sometimes called a die gouge. The die received a hit and all coins struck later with this die will have exact mark from this hit. The difference is that a die crack is where the die is starting to separate, but this was a hit the die received. Always nice to use as a marker if the die was a variety coin or while searching a BU roll. It ID's those coins coming from that die after that event. __________________ Two silk worms had a race.
