I don't know about value, but a MS70 1999 is a lot rarer than a PF70 1995 W. PCGS graded 84 1995 W's and 0 1999's in the 70 grade. NGC graded 382...
I'd say it's a S-91 too. The leaves by the A in America match S-91 and not S-87....
Back up the truck? Are you crazy?! At that price I'd be loading up a freight train with those "competitively priced" babies! :greedy:

When I get to the point you're at with your Lincolns, I'll probably just convince myself that the 1922 plain isn't a regular issue and I should...
The spots may not be beautiful, but they do give it character. Better character than if you cleaned it.
Thanks for the explanation rzage! That certainly makes for a cool effect on the coin.
Not that this has anything to do with cleaning, but what causes the tips of the stars to extend to the rim?
