Sorry to post again, but I missed something. I thought the bright lines were the entire scratches. They aren’t. The scratches are actually wider...
I am not fighting against @Insider ‘s conclusion that these are scratches, but I am still confused in my own mind. I also think the bright lines...
I am late to the thread, so I will jump into the middle! On the rotated picture I can pick up some shading. Some of the lines are bright on one...
I will go with MS 65. I am cheating a little bit; I have an MS64 of a later year, and this seems to be just a bit better. Both sides are flawless...

This 1917-D is in my Lincoln set. [ATTACH] It's not bad, but I was looking to see if I could find something with a little luster. This is...

I like both, acknowledging that they are different animals. Proofs do go back quite a ways. Here are business and proof Indian Head cents, for...
[ATTACH] This got a Details grade because of the mark at the reverse rim at 9:00. Apparently it’s a contact mark from a coin roll wrapping...
How about now?
Larry, yours just has to be a proof. I just have this one, which I really like. [ATTACH]
I posted dimes when I should not have, replaced them with nickels, and now we have come around to Mercury dimes again! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] This is...
I realized my mistake and pulled the 1942 Mercuries and replaced them with the nickels above. Yes, I really liked the dimes. Maybe I’ll post them...

This is not a new acquisition any more, but what a perfect opportunity to post another 1921 overstrike from Dan Carr. [ATTACH]
Aw, shucks. :rolleyes:
