Sweet memorial cent! That's about as good as they get. Just the slightest weakness around the E PLUR and in the middle of the steps at the bottom. Other than that, it's hammered and the fields are nice. Looks like a very light haze on the obverse, but that might not have been there when it was slabbed. I wish the mint would have put the details back into the beard in 59. It would have the perfect time to do it.
I don't see any nicks even in my picture except to the left of UNIM. Strike is dead solid. Yes, Thad. At the right angle I believe the steps are full there. I just wish Abe had the details of the Abe in the teens. There is plenty of luster despite my picture of the obverse. In hand, this is a solid 67 to both NGC and me.
MNcoinman lost one of his dropped scores so he went backwards this week. Everyone else stayed in the same position. Columns are rank, name, average, and number of guesses.
