Sweet memorial cent! That's about as good as they get. Just the slightest weakness around the E PLUR and in the middle of the steps at the bottom....
Ohhhhhh, pretty! I see that deep red toning and some halo luster. That's a beautiful coin!!!
It's an original coin, no doubt about it. They just didn't want it in one of their holders. If the graders have any question about a coin like...
I can't believe, I think I have a 90% failure rate with NGC between 66 and 67.

WOW! LOVE IT MAN!!! Such a classic, unmolested look to it. I'm not giving my grade up yet.
Harsh grade IMO but the "scratches" you describe kind of looked like the typical "shiny spots". Definitely 65+. One of the most...
I always laugh when I see that! :D
Yea baby...I'm down with that grade! Excellent job PCGS.
