<p>[QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 1501811, member: 7957"]Sorry if I misled you, but the more I look at Abe's forehead, the less I think there is a nick on it. First, the "nick" (lowest, closest to the ear) looks more like a planchet flaw than a nick. Second, that die crack to the right of it actually continues dead on the top edge I think for its entire length. All the rest are definitely die cracks. Regardless, without a loupe, they (all of them) just are not there. Really, the only distraction you can make out is a weak O in ONE and some not so noticeable toning marks. Luster is nice and strike (outside of the O) is really pretty good. I am not sure whether I would go 66 or 67 with this one, but NGC thought it was a good day and gave it a 67.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]192791.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
