Grade 1955 S Lincoln

I had it RB mostly red 66 until I saw the "m" on reverse appears half missing. EF.

Where's the rest of m on reverse?

 

Common on Lincolns and has nothing to do with calling the coin circulated. It might knock it from 67 to 66, but certainly not to XF.

 

'66..........Lovely piece.

 

66RD, easy. Very nice, lustrous, bright red coin!

Too many marks for a 67.

 

Ok a lot of you did well or were real close ... maybe my photos worked in this case. The obverse is very nicely colored red the reverse was a little harder to photo as the bag mark above the One. No matter how I angled the photo or looked at this coin would this bag mark be considered a major distraction although I think this and the weak Reverse Strike is what kept this coin from being a MS67. The reverse is as weak struck as the obverse is the complete opposite being a strong strike both sides have the color appearance as the obverse shows in these photos.
There is a partial grease filled S in the Mint Mark and a die chip in the upper area of the 9 in @ 11:00 of the 1955. Have not found any information as to this attribute and if it would carry any premium.
If anyone knows please tell me.
