This is a pretty cent with some light gray/blue toning I couldn't capture with my camera through the plastic. That being said it's PCGS graded - what say you?

At least VG-08 - and likely higher.

What's going on with the lower portion of Abe's bust/jacket--die crack involved ('shattered shoulder')? I'll go with MS65 as well.

I really need to find a full spectrum light, I'm using a fluorescent and just can't capture what the coins actually look like..........to get rid of glare I lose so much picture quality.

Marv65, I did gave your lovely linclon a MS66 but said RB. Yes, the color from your first pictures threw me off...

How can anyone say RD when looking at the reverse picture of this coin?
