You might want to get the book, ANA Grading Standards for US Coins. It's available on the Whitman Books site. Chris
@JMosby First, welcome to the neighborhood! Others have found coins similar to yours, thinking that they were missing one or both of the clad...
Is it possible that the thin mintmark was simply due to a weaker strike? Chris
The '98-S is a Matte Finish, not a Matte Proof. It was originally graded "MS" but was later changed to "SP". The two I have are graded MS. Chris
Thanks for posting those, Alan! The letter from France is particularly interesting because of the period. It seems that it wasn't too much later...
@Skyman I believe that Sy is referring to the difference between the two "S" mintmarks. Note that one is "thin and open" while the other is...
Regardless, your BS/joke was in poor taste while @jtlee321 was proudly trying to show off his latest submission. Yeah, I like to beat a dead...
Just put it back in circulation! I guarantee you that 6 months from now someone will post another photo of it here swearing they have a real...
So, your first comment (above) was just BS. Right? Chris
Yeah! Especially when there is no emoticon, J/K or LOL. Why should we accept his comment that the poor grades he received were the fault of PCGS...

I only said "Zero" because you didn't post the photos with your original post. Have you checked the Heritage archives for completed auction...
You come across like you're mad because you got some bad results on your own submission. There is no need to take it out on this submitter. Chris
Assuming that the slab is legit, we can guess that it hasn't been in this slab too long since PCGS only started using it about 7-8 years ago. Chris
Zero! I never guess the value of a coin without at least seeing photos of it. Judging from your other posts, you really need to learn more about...
I don't know anything about the coin, but the oval object looks like a mirror that swivels on its stand. Chris
The same way you find a great mate! You've got to kiss a lot of toads before you find a prince.:woot::woot::woot::woot::woot: Chris
As Lincoln's go, I like the 55-S the best. It's a shame that there isn't a "No Step" Jeff attribution. Chris
@coinzip I think you're all wrong! I like #3 the best. Chris:wacky::wacky::wacky::wacky:
