<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bhp3rd, post: 497645, member: 16510&quot;]<b>Never in&nbsp; million years!!</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Never in a million years would this be a MS-64 coin.&nbsp; It has a problem and is a common issue easily found with no problems - It may (in my opinion) be a 62 or 63 - the rub on high places could easily be roll rub as this is a year near the beginning of roll collecting and I have seen many like this.</p><p>Reasons for my assessment:::</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. It&#039;s got spots and esp. it has a spot right at the date in the first field of vision, bad, bad, bad,, - that spot will always be the first thing I would see and that would never change.</p><p>2. One never needs to send a 1939-P in for grading unless it absolutely takes your breath away plus one never needs to buy a slabbed 1939-P as you can find one better than this easily - there are hundreds if not thousands of MS-60 tru. 66 red 1939-P&#039;s out there.</p><p>3. Absolutely nothing about this coin is unique, nothing - if I owned it it would be in my bargain box at $4 and I would take $3.</p><p>4. With that said I don&#039;t mean to &quot;throw off on your coin&quot; - but my life is built around finding original problem free Lincoln cents.&nbsp; For instance I recently went through a brinks box of 2008-P cents all BU - to fit my criteria I was able to find a little less than 3 rolls.&nbsp; Yes 50 rolls (2500) of BU coins netted me 135 coins I would offer my customers.&nbsp; That&#039;s how picky I am.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Remember a coin with a problem will always have a problem no matter what - and as another member of coin colleting has said, &quot;there is no price too small to pay for a problem coin&quot;.&nbsp; It take one awhile to understand that but my dealer freinds will not even pay a third of bid for a coin with a problem - at first I thought they were being to harsh in that but as time goes on I now know that they are right.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ben Peters, (home of The Knoxville Coin Show)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
