    64+ (maybe PL) and a green bean for eye appeal.

    Most of you got it right. But it's a lock 65 today. The lower chin is just a very minor frost break and there isn't more than a speck or two on the cheek. This is a very clean coin. Heck, if I saw it in a 66 it probably wouldn't bean but I wouldn't question it. I'll probably break it out and send it to PCGS in a friends bulk sub. Only have $40 in it so why not.

    The reverse is PL but the obv doesn't quite make it

    Love those ANACS holders. I love them even more when you can buy them from shops that simply go by what the label says, and then discount them because they are ANACS. :)

    Yeah. Me too. I've never cracked a hotel soap but in this case it's only an 81s and a no brainer 65 that would near triple what I would have in it.

    V66 huh? Wow, you actually bothered to look that one up? 81S is probably the only date that i wont waste my time on (so 2 speak) Unless there is something cool/unusual about it. Im the same way with PEACE $, i dont enjoy fooling w them.
    Sidenote: 4 those that havent heard, Breen wrote about an 81S overdate (1/9) in his encyclopedia , i dont believe one has EVER come to light, but i always eyeball the 8 and the 1 because well, ya just never knowo_O

    When I'm bored I'll give em a go. If it takes more than 20mins though I get bored again.

    If this is your process, I assume you only stop when you find the VAM then?? :hilarious:

    My fool-proof process:
    1) search for VAM (10min)
    2) bang head against desk (5min)
    3) make up a random number (1min)
    In case somebody realizes it's the wrong VAM, start over at 1) but now look at the correct year/mm combination...
