    Hmmm. Looks lower grade than I would expect to see slabbed. Is this a trick question?

    Hard to tell from the pictures prolly go either 66-67. I gave it the benefit of the doubt a 67

    One tiny nick in the obverse field above the date. Great strike and nice luster. The stuff you see by UNIM is actually a shiny spot. I have seen them on several Lincolns and they seem to be more prevalent on 1943's. I have no idea what causes them. However, the luster is broken at the base of the right wheat. At most angles, it reminds me of a Chinese character. Again, I am not sure what caused it strike through or dust contact. It is not a nick. I suspect this is the main reason PCGS only gave this a 66. BTW, that is an interesting distribution of guesses there.

    Figured, not sure why'd you have a low dollar MS65 coin. The scratches I saw on the reverse are on the slab. A nice strike and the strong O in ONE helped it.
