He also gave it a MS65 grade. </p><p>This is the dealer who said that &#039;you have a good eye for these things, most people would not have noticed the difference&#039;... </p><p>And to think, if this coin had ever been circulated the images would likely have disappeared within a few years.</p><p>This may be my very favorite Lincoln cent, even though it has no premium value like a variety cent.</p><p>Enjoy,</p><p>jeankay[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
