While there is still some spotting in 1948, the quality does seem a bit better than the previous years right after the end of World War II. NGC...
It seems worth waking up this thread for this special photograph - special to me, at any rate. My mother's birthday is coming up in a few weeks,...
The lack of detail in AMER on the reverse of the first 1947-S matches up well with the display example at NGC Coin Explorer, as typical for this...
The NGC Coin Explorer website comments that spotting and marks are common throughout the 1940's. I suppose better examples could be found. With a...

I didn't plan to have two 1932's. I was working towards a simple year set, just one example per year. I wasn't even going to get any mint marks. I...

This does seem to be the time and place to smack the hornet nest with a stick. As a somewhat new guy, I learn more about grading with every coin...
When I was about 15, in 1965, I won $30 in a math contest and bought a 1931-D Lincoln. I remember it as being around AU with a bit of original...
