panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18630 Posts	Posted 05/13/2026 09:18 am MS66RD looks like a die crack across the steps. there are a few marks in the field above CENT and some very minor marks on the lapel from the bowtie to the rim. very clean shoulder which is rare. it has the appearance of a woodie. not a whole lot of value until it would get to 68RD really nice coin Report this Post to the Staff

The coin color looks off because of the balance. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
