Semper Fi! [ATTACH] NOTE: I stole this image from somewhere. Chris
There has long been an argument whether or not Laura Gardin Fraser collaborated with her husband, James Earle Fraser, on the design of the "Oregon...
Ditto to DDD for me! How are you Paul? Chris
It looks like die deterioration doubling to me. Also, it looks like you have a little die break on the building. Chris
Close mintmark? Close to what? It's not in the CPG. Do you have a link. Chris

If the anomaly is raised (above the surface of the field), then it is very likely a die chip. If it is recessed (below the surface of the field),...
Is it raised or recessed? Chris
It's certainly better than most of the Lincoln cracks we get to see. Chris
But, this coin isn't PL. It's just an ordinary MS63, and they're hardly worth the grading fees. Chris
Is that an asking price or a sold price? People can ask anything they want. I've seen listings asking for tens of thousands of dollars for coins...
FWIW, the 1880-S is known for a strong strike and the optimal grade for collecting would be about MS65. The problem you might run into down the...
