This and http://www.cointalk.com/t211184/ will be ending tomorrow night. I will be occupied 16th though the 26th. Not sure when I will get to post a new round, but it will not be until the 22nd (unlikely) at the earliest.
Dead solid strike and it is virtually nick free. The minor discolorations are pretty much only visible with a loupe (except by the E). Luster isn't booming, but it is definitely very nice. In hand, it is actually a very pleasant looking coin. It looks better that it photographs. Anyhow, PCGS gave it a 66 and I would agree.

Either that or it has moved with time. Older slabs do that all the time. I have even managed to move some back to straight.
Thanks!, but I've also been unbelievably lucky sometimes . Some of my rationalizations would boggle the mind. Some have been WAY off, but the ending grade was still correct....... I DID however adjust my grade on those recently graded NGC lincolns with spots........was kinda proud of those. ..
