I hope those parallel lines above the date are die polishing and not hand cleaning?

Right markers so it could be. Let us know your results.

Maybe ... your photos are not able to capture the surfaces ...

Let us know what PCGS says on this one ... fingers crossed for you and a potential rare find.

Just got the grade back from PCGS. The wizards believe this is an SP and assigned it the grade of SP66 and I agree. Thanks

So what's the difference between the value of a business strike and a specimen?

PCGS shows a value of $475.00 for an MS-66 example and $7,500.00 for an SP-66 version.

Well congratulations then. That's one of the best cherry picks that I've ever heard of. Sometimes when you take a chance it pays off. I got excited when I cherry picked a Jefferson nickel that had an S over D mint mark. I can only imagine how you feel.

Thank you and everybody else for the congratulations! I was looking for one in MS-65 or better for my collection and I saw this raw one and thought it may be the SP finish but knew it was a shoe-in for a 65 holder so I bought it. Now I need to cherry an 1888/7 Indian!
