Sure looks like it , as it reflects light , only question is how bad it is .
I'm in the same dilemma as Mike , beautiful coin , but slightly muted luster , and the reverse hit . I'm thinking the hit brings it down from a 67...
Dick , the scratch across United is on the slab , correct ?
Got to admit I thought it was a high 66 , but am a little suprised at the 67 , But I have to hand it to Irish , meidbe7 and mralaxanderb .
Canuck is just slang for Canadian .
AU-58 to MS61 , nice coin . Has nice luster , but these smaller coins are graded harder , if there's no wear I can't see it going higher than a 62...
Ok , I can see they aren't hits , maybe Planchet zits is a better word . lol I always thought they'd affect the grade to some degree . Guess we'll...
If you're right , I've learned something today , now after a closer look it looks like the chatter is planchet flaws , still I'm hoping for a 66 . lol
It's got the luster of a 67 , nice sharp strike , but that hit on the E in one bothers me .
Nice clean coin , with a little more luster I could go 67 , but as is 66 .
It's great to see a mom taking part in a wonderful hobby for her son . If you ever need any help Just PM me . Rusty
Bet those spote are barely visible in hand , beautiful '48 , and love that die crack on Lincolns forehead .
The coin must look better in hand , or the pics really made the hits on Lincolns head and body look worse than they are .
Aren't these made of aluminum ? If they are , why would anyone melt them .
With all those coins in almost a billion peoples hands , who's going to melt them ?
Coin has nice luster , but too much going on on Lincoln to go higher . 65
If they loved them once I'm sure they will again , children all go through stages as you well know . Next time they show a little interest slip...
I'm still waiting on some grandkids , Dick do you have them collecting yet ?
Went 66 , but wouldn't be surprised by a 67 , depending how bad those small spots are in hand .
Really Dick , it's not the same with out your contests , hope you had a good vacation . : )
