    I'll go 68 because of the marks on the reverse.

    Okie dokie. The coin is actually the first coin my girlfriend ever bought. It's neat to her as 2017 is the year we met. Regardless if it is a Sheild cent, I got her to buy a coin. (Shes not really into coins, so this was an accomplishment). She knows I like Lincoln cents and wanted to get something that was for us.

    Ah yes the coveted silver sticker;):bag:

    I'm not gonna lie, it is pretty nice (only time I will ever compliment a shield). Early strike, with none of the typical cracking around the shield itself. No plating bubbles so the zinc isn't going to rot away, just yet. Not sure what kept it from the 68 though.

    That is cool that is means that much. If I were to guess, the overall condition of the reverse is what dropped it down to 67.
