I am a Lincoln Cent lover, but as others have stated this one is not quite "perfect enough" for my taste. Too much chatter and a slightly strange color. Also it seems to be a MS66 slider if the seller really has tried to cross it over to PCGS multiple times. |

Not a fan of the spots either, possibly lightly cleaned at some point. I agree lights are too bright, luster is washed out.

Probably not. Too many carbon spots to warrant a 66 grade IMHO.
CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

Thanks y'all! Very helpful responses re: the appearance and appeal of the coin.
And I also appreciate the responses regarding what's most important in life when deciding where to spend one's hard-earned cash. :O)

What a great looking coin, but I don't think I could ever spend that kind of money on a single penny. Like Jbuck said, I will take a lower grade for the Dansco.

I'm sorry, but the grade on this one is absurd. The strike is not even that good. there are nicks all over the shoulder and heavier ones on the reverse. Not to mention the color and spots. There is a reason PCGS slabs are often worth more than NGC slabs, perfect example.

I wouldn't kick it out of my album, but even price aside I don't like it because of the spotting.

It would make a down payment for a nice house. Or a down payment on a Ferrari? I like mine as is.  |

Nope. To me that coin is too clean and good looking, meaning it's been sitting for over a hundred years. I like coins that are a little beat up and dirty from the hundreds of hands they've been in for the last 100 years.

I don't like the grade for all the nicks on the bust......although the fields look good.
