    I think this coin would still receive a 66. Is that a nick on Lincoln's forehead or possibly a die crack?

    It is raised, so it is not a nick. I would guess it is a scratch rather than a die crack.

    Should be 66 imo... don't think the die crack would hold it out of 66, maybe hurt it's chances for 67 though. other than that and one small nic, a nice one... solid 66.

    Given anyone else, and I would say the luster could grab a 67, but with PCGS I went with 66.

    RLM-

    Is it just a reflection, or is that eyelid doubled to the east?

    I am entirely missing what you are talking about. I see no signs of doubling either in the photo or in hand.

    Yep. That is an eyelid! If you are referring to that little sort of dot by your arrow, that is just the way the light is being reflected. It is all one line with a luster spot (if you know what I am trying to describe) in the middle.

    Got it. From the reflection looked like it could have been moderately doubled.

    Great luster, minimal ticks, and a good strike. Again, the cracked skull is of little impact. This is a solid 66.

    BTW, this coin obviously has real nice luster, but that NGC 51-D I said was so nice puts this one to shame.
