<p>[QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 1234966, member: 7957"]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.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
