    66 - 1 RD, because of the marks on Lincoln and that cut on the right wheat ear. But, it's still better than the other coin. (#221)

    It looks like there's a weak die clash

    Tough one to call.

    Answer the age old question: Were the milk spots and slight carbon there before slabbing or not?

    I'll guess yes, and grade it 66. A 67 would not surprise me, a 65 would.

    I'll go 66 would go 67 if those spots weren't there .

    You might not even see those spots thru a 5x glass. Me - I think the luster from the picture keeps it at 66.

    ObsoleteCurrency I like old money.

    I voted 66. It seems like a safe grade for smaller coins.

    Overall 64RD ... milk spots and minor stuff on obverse ... lots of marks on reverse.

    Did anyone notice who is the high voter for this coin? Some of the old timers might be interested. Long time no see!!

    Everyone guessed this one, but not the 46-S? Even Twiggs! Whatever?

    No distracting marks and great luster. It has some bull's-eye toning which I think adds to the coin. However, there are likely those out there who disagree with that. NGC thought it deserved a 67. I think it is even a nice 67.
