Well, its done. Decided to go big and crack it. Still couldn't quite capture how consistent the luster is. Will post results when they're in.


Good luck!

Doesn't seem like you have much downside. Good luck.

Wow....I'm not even that big of a large cent collector and this thing is absolutely stunning. I'm hoping for great results on this one!

UPDATE: PCGS ended up calling this MS66. No bump, but I assumed they probably wouldn't with the reverse planchet flaw. Happy to add it to the collection.

Amazing coin. Absolutely love it. I didnt think I would get jealous of another since I apparently have its twin... but that said, I am drooling over yours. Mine is 65 CAC, not 66. I thought mine could make 66, until I saw yours which appears even more flawless. Great coin! Hope you dont mind me posting my crappy photos of mine.

Thanks guys, but TY, yours is just WOW. I like it more then mine. One thing I will say thought is the luster on mine is incredible. Yours may have even better surfaces thought along with the most beautiful color!

The luster on mine is better in hand, but not nearly what yours is, the luster on yours is insane! Would be great to have them side by side...... in my collection
