    That one is nicer than mine - and I've searched thousands of these. Do you have full size pictures of it? I'd like to see it closer.

    Does the top of the 2nd pillar from the left and the T in CENT make this a doubled die? IMG_1384.JPG IMG_1384.JPG IMG_1384.JPG IMG_1384.JPG

    I was thinking of sending it off to PCGS but I think the U in United may hold it back a point or 2

    I have only a handful of graded cents. This is NGC MS65.

    This one has a new picture. It was a salvage of a PCGS graded AU53, discussed in post #3830 in this thread. It had the beginnings of corrosion so I de-holdered it and did some conservation.

    Also weak in STATES OF A on the reverse.

    Part of the challenge with this year is finding fully struck examples. As I recall, this was the best strike I found. The reverse won me over on my coin.

    It is what it is....as with all coins, you have to take the bad with the good. :D

    The reverse of the -S has this good-sized die crack. There is also a crack in the planchet just in front of Lincoln's face.

    This may look a bit rough, but it adds a unique look to the collection.

    Those are nice 25S and 25D's! Those are TOUGH coins to find in good condition and well-struck. Both mints grossly over-used their dies producing mainly poorly-struck coins.

    After some luck, I was able to acquire this one too:
