Yes, pointed with stem. I've matched to O-116 https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...6-stem/39319Shield lines are not an anomaly. If you look at all graded coins - even the 8's and 10's - they all have well-defined lines. Area must be a slightly concave, can't visually tell tho. |

I'll go with VG.

Would you pay mid-VF money for it? No, just pointing out their inconsistencies with grading the series and that I've learned to drop the grade on these 2 grade levels and even 3 with a coin that looks like this. discerning wear from strike when you have something like this can be a headache |

Thx all. Was contemplating having it graded however it would only make $ sense if concensus grade was F12 or higher. Sounds like VG is most likely so I'll just capsule raw.

I 'd say VG cleaned. I do agree with panzaldi that TPGs are no better than us at these.

Fine 12 or 15, I would personally go with 12 as a net for the cleaning.

Tough one because it is extremely flat strike meaning the lack of detail in the middle is mostly strike not wear. I'll say VF-20.

While I do lean towards this being cleaned at some point in its past, no one has called it a DETAILS coin.
I do realize this is a tough one to grade.

I think its acceptable and would grade straight |

Interesting coin. A lot going on with that little package. As previously commented on, what is going on with the date?

what is going on with the date? Minted in Q6 :-) Just a massive die break - assume a bit of shatter/flaking around the numbers. If you trace the break, you can see it return on the last 2 stars clockwise and thru LIBE. Common amongst all O-116s - https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...6-stem/39319Some more promounced than others. |

An older cleaning so it might get a pass. Can't see this one above VG-10.
