COOL COIN! I love interesting coins like this. The obverse POPS...almost looks like a reverse cameo! The reverse has some cool die cracks and it looks like it has one of the mirror-like, shinny planchet bits above the E in ONE? Scratch in the reverse, left field and some weakness in the O and AME are the only negative points I can see.

 

An MS67 worthy coin, but the O makes it MS66 or MS65. I'll go with MS65 RD

 

65

 

Is that a scratch to the right of the left wheat stalk .

 

Ms66

 

Interesting reverse. I count 7 die cracks and one small scratch.

 

66

 

Awfully late state reverse -- looks like a pretty good sized clash to go along with the cracks. I voted more for the luster than the chatter on the obverse and went with 66.

 

66 because of slightly muted obverse luster. Coin looks clean enough to go 67 otherwise.

 

Beautiful coin , but Lincolns face and PCGS will bring it down to a 66 .

 

I am a bit late with this post, but this and http://www.cointalk.com/t194948/ will be closing tonight - soon!

 

Real nice strike and super luster. Only the scratch by the left wheat is a distraction. And then there are the cracks, but they should not count against the coin much. PCGS thought it was a 66 and I agree.



I thought it might be interesting to show you the cracks I found. I doubt this die made it through many more strikes.

 

It's really cool coin with character.....I like it!
