What do you guys think about this quarter. I'm pretty sure I'm seeing die cracks, but sometimes I think that and it turns out to be a LAM.

Thanks for any feedback!

the toning makes the details tougher to discern, but I suspect that line is the product of a die crack

Deep toning has pulled many coins across the line. Not for me, especially at a 66 grade.

I realize they are only pictures and in hand it might look different, but my eye just sees a deep scratch.

Looks like a cut from a knife or something. I looked up the slab number and it is there.

Very nice pictures, and with the close-up images you can see that they are incuse, Also they are far too straight to be cracks. These marks are scratches. But fear not, I think I do see one die crack on the obverse - it runs east/west at the top of the head...

I tried to spread the light out and not get any glare on the lines. Taking photos through the plastic plus the toning has been a challenge.

Generation 3.0 slab - Uncommon.

Produced Dec 1987 - Aug 1989. This holder features a new front label with a brown or green border & the outside rear gold logo. Green border is less common of the two. Though this holder was produced for nearly two years, it is not seen often and usually commands a premium price.


If they miss with the coin cert, at least you has a slab who command a nice premium almost because it is the green borders.

PS: the Slab has more value then the coin.
