Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73628 Posts	Posted 05/13/2026 6:47 pm I'll say MS-65. It's a nice coin with not many nicks or bag marks. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10475 Posts	Posted 05/13/2026 9:33 pm A great looking steel cent. Slight scratch on the reverse may hold it to 65 but I wouldn't be surprised at a 66. Report this Post to the Staff
Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 6994 Posts	Posted 05/13/2026 11:03 pm IMO toughest year to grade from photos, all (if any) bag marks seem to blend into the surface. Obv appears to have a faint fingerprint on/in the field in front of Abe/ a hit after the 3 by date/ several on shoulder and lapel. Rev a bit nicer maybe a hit between wheat stems all other look like polish lines/ shame about the corrosion spot one the E(ONE). Overall, a very nice cent, I'll say Sixtyfourrrrrr from photos inhand 65 Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18630 Posts	Posted 05/14/2026 11:40 am these planchets were pretty hard due to the alloy mix. they needed to increase the stamping pressure to get full strikes. you can see the metal flow lines on this one on the obv from K7-K9 probably MS64. the issue on the reverse at the E will hold it back from 65 imo as its pretty noticable Edited: second look, I think the overall coin is enough for MS65 Edited by panzaldi 05/15/2026 09:09 am Report this Post to the Staff
