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.
You might not even see those spots thru a 5x glass. Me - I think the luster from the picture keeps it at 66.
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.
5, 6, and 7 played musical again. They tried another alignment this week. Top 10.
