Nice strike, nice luster, and, with a couple noticeable exceptions, minimally nicked/marked. Those fields almost look creamy. Yes, those nicks are visible in hand, but, no, they are not major distraction as they appear in my pictures. PCGS still gave it a 66. Maybe not the best 66 I have seen, but I think it makes it. BTW, those parallel lines on Abe are not at all visible in hand. I finally located them with a loupe and suspect that they are planchet problems left since they are both on the high points and the recesses. If anyone else has an idea, speak up.
pumpkinpie rejoined the top ten and Irish2Ice opened up his lead. Meanwhile, most of the pack is fighting in that 0.4 to 0.5 area. Columns are rank, name, average, and number of guesses.

Both right , I needed that . I figured the luster on this one would carry it . Dick on those lines I can't see anything else causing it , especially since they're not visible in hand . Must be planchet flaws .
