Just the slightest scratch, slightest wear marks, a soft press all can lower a grade of any coin. And this can vary as some years are minted soft, so the grading varies.

Maybe post your coin and ask for the grade. Then you'll find detailed answers of particular grades. Rather that stating what it is and getting opposite opinions.
You can then question the opinions for more information. You'll learn a lot more, a lot faster that way.

Incandescent light 10 X 3 Jeweler's loupe don't know what to tell you the crud around the T is dirt not to be cleaned any other scratch or Nick is by the t and by the lower 6 in the date that's the only other flaw on this coin the lines on the reverse on the memorial are in fine detail only comparing it to what others have listed and sold for up to $1500 on Heritage auctions in 2016

 

And I did list it as a doubled die obverse with an extra earlobe according to copper coins is also other listings that's the only reason I listed it on error coins my bad I'll try that next time just to see the reaction I get and I also did post it on what's my coin worth on coin talk

 

I have had ONE, and ONLY ONE MS68 as a circulation pull, in over 30 years of looking. I have a second one from a 200-coin bag of Kennedy halves.

 

Can you post a picture of it please thank you

 

And no rush take your time I get paid by the hour LOL

 

Coins with planchet defects, Linear plating blisters, don't get the high mint state grades, and they never will. The cent on Pcgs has smooth fields and what looks like amazing luster, these are attributes that aren't present on your coin. Sorry to say, your coin isn't worth the submission fees.

 

Oy! I don't keep coin pictures and I don't take coin pictures. I know that makes me a unicorn on this site, but I'm a former pro photographer, and I'm a perfectionist, so if I can't produce a photo to my standards, I don't do it at all.

 

@Willysilver I'm not trying to knock you, man. You seem to have a legitimate desire to learn, which is great. You just seem to jump the gun...a lot...Perhaps you should slow it down a bit and if you think you have something, ask and wait for replies instead of blasting off that you have x, y, or z and not being happy when other people, who are probably more knowledgeable, contradict what you think. Don't count your chickens before they've hatched. I understand the frustration of not having what you thought you did but don't worry, one day you will get there.

Also: Punctuation is IMPORTANT.
"Let's eat Grandma" vs "Let's eat, Grandma"...

 

Sorry I'm from Massachusetts I like to get it done and fast get it off my plate and move on if it ain't it a coin that can be collected I'll put it in a 2 by 2 and save it for my daughter basically that's what I'm doing anyways just looking for a little help for a little security thank you and have an awesome day one of the thing I do talk-to-text makes it a lot easier so blame Google LOL

 

Don't blame being from Massachusetts. My wife is from there and has good punctuation and grammar. I will let you blame Google though

 

Also I am very passionate about Lincoln cents because I've had a few saved and they've gotten stolen from me I believe they were worth a lot of money I also had a 68 proof dime that I brought to a coin store the gentleman went to his glass case looked at his proof sets and didn't have one and then in turn hit the dime somewhere I can't find it it was definitely a proof I received it in Massachusetts when I was there on vacation to my knowledge of what I've read most of the 68 proof Roosevelt dimes no s make mark where in the Massachusetts Federal Reserve don't know why but I read that anyways that's my story and I'm sticking to it

 

I use talk to text. But I add punctuation. "period" "exclamation point" "question"
Plus you can EDIT the text before hitting the "Post" button.

@Willysilver , I see you're in Florida. Grab your high grade coins, and head over to the Summer FUN show in Orlando July 12-14. All the grading companies will be there, and some may even show you what you have.

Umm.... huh?

I think you're saying that you had a 1968 no-S proof dime that you received in change in Massachusetts, and that most of the No-S proof dimes were kept(?) or minted(???) in Massachusetts, you showed said coin to a dealer, and he stole it from you.

Let's think about this for a minute.

No-S coin of value would be a coin minted at the San Francisco (California) mint, but the 'S' was left off.

The Gov't decided to ship these proof sets across the country, to Massachusetts, for storage/distribution. These are proof coins, intended to be included in proof sets, and sold as a set to collectors.

But it's your understanding/belief that instead of going into the sets, they were released into circulation, but only from the FR in Mass.

With your incredible luck, you were handed one of the (6 known, yours would make 7 known) proof No-S dimes by the lady behind the counter at your local newsstand (or wherever).

Then, days, weeks, years later, with your same incredible luck, you showed it to the most unscrupulous coin dealer, who, when presented the coin, stealthily hid the coin from you, and magically made it disappear.

Is that a correct synopsis of what you're saying?

I don't know if you're kind of luck is the best to have or the worst to have.

BTW, how do you tell a proof from a business strike? (HINT: Answer isn't "it's shines"

 

I'm amazed you can decipher his rambling paragraphs. Only he knows what he's really saying, or asking, or just babbling ?!?!

 

Probably an exercise in futility...

 

Oh i am

 

Willie I looked at your coin at 500% magnification there are 2 dings on the obverse rim at 1 o'clock and 4 o'clock also on the reverse there is a ding on the "C" of the cent. These guys know what they are doing...look at it as if it were someone's other than your coin. Go up to the upper right hand corner of your screen and you will see (3) periods click on them and you can go to 500% magnification and sometimes plus 500%....and then look at YOUR coin...that is what they see. Sorry Bud and I have gotten bad news from them also but we call them our friends.
