Steel-white surfaces are tinged in blue with&nbsp; small variations in the luster on the reverse and a few minor areas of&nbsp; color at the right obverse border. Boldly defined overall but with a&nbsp; slight striking defect on the 4 in the date and the nearby mintmark.(<a href="http://javascript%3Cb%3E%3C/b%3E:void%280%29" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://javascript%3Cb%3E%3C/b%3E:void%280%29" rel="nofollow">Registry values</a>: N1) (#2717)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Lincoln%20Cents/1943-SMS69.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1140&amp;Lot_No=265#" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1140&amp;Lot_No=265#" rel="nofollow">1943-S Lincoln Cent NGC MS69</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Now call me crazy but I can see 5 distinct hits on the word CENT on the reverse.&nbsp; In my mind, I can&#039;t call anything that has 5 separate contact marks an MS69.&nbsp; There is no doubt that the coin is a premium gem, but what should it really grade?&nbsp; NGC says MS69, what say you?</p><p><br /></p><p>Please vote in the attached poll.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
