I'm not a huge fan of memorial cents, but I have to say that one is the best I've ever seen. That tone is great!

A VERY strong coin. As others have mentioned the 1980's were not that great as a general rule and even as the mints efforts got better as the decade progressed it was not often a coin of this caliber was produced. Spend the 5 cents and put it in a 2 x 2. I know I would. Great find! Sincerely, John Leckrone

The luster is insane, looks like a proof. A lot of weight is given to luster on the Memorial cents. I'd be mad if a TGP didn't give it at least a 66, but I'm calling it a 67 with a star designation.
