Got all summer to just exercise and do a few courses online. If senior year is easy enough then maybe I'm coming back for good
It is a 67 luster coin, but that stuff by the "T" in "CENT" and the ding above ONE has me worried about it. I said 66 but am on the edge with agreeing with T$ and saying details.
That is one strange coin ! Three things going on that I have no idea of how they could have got there. 1 - what I can only call a ghost rim between LIBERTY and IN. 2 - what almost looks like a doubled ear, with a round dot on each one ! 3 - 2 identical circular marks of some kind (with what looks like a cross in them) on the rev, one on the top of the left wheat (not the die chip lower down) and one under the B
1 - That is the luster. I have never noticed a coin do that before, but it does it in hand also even though everything appears flat. 2 - Never noticed that before either. Other coins I look at also have it, but not nearly so obvious. A combination of lighting, strike, and die conditions? 3 - They are not quite so identical in hand, but definitely similar. BTW, Rusty, that is the camera in reflection.
Toughie for sure - the spots on the reverse convinced me to drop it to 66. And the ear(without blowing it up) just looked like a hit. But I see what Doug mentioned when it was blown up. Interesting coin.
Those circles are strange , the obverse is beautiful but the reverse will hold it down to a 66 , I think .
