Uncirculated, but the "sneeze spots" on the obverse pretty much eliminate any premium.

Lincoln looks like he has a terrible skin disease or the Plague and yes, he sneezed. Too bad! Otherwise an AU.
Do I see MD's?

I was just pondering an accurate grading number, thank you. (I'll refrain form using any "Captain Obvious" replies about flyspecks).

pics outside the flip would have been helpful...as is...MS-63RD
how about a close-up of some of the doubling...hard to see it through the plastic.

smat45 I wish I could get good close ups but it's impossible with my cheap camera. Once I secure another USB scope I'll post good pics. My old Veho VMS-004 is not compatible with newer computer.

just for kicks and giggles try using your phone and see how the photos turn out
1. if coin is in holder, remove coin from holder if possible
2. turn off flash
3. place coin on flat surface with indirect natural light. maybe a window sill in a cloudy day. Use a black or white background to avoid any reflective color
4. move phone about 3in from coin
5. zoom in using your fingers until the coin comes into focus and fills the camera. if your phone has a portrait selection use that and then press and hold on the coin in the view finder to AF lock it
6. hold phone steady. if you cant then place something on either side of the coin (like books) at that distance and lay phone between them. this will hold it steady and allow you to zoom and take the photo without any blurring

love the "Kicks & giggles", okay I will give it a try today if I get caught up on all my other ebay stuff. I do have a USB scope on it's way I'll be able to show PUP and area's of concern much better once it arrives, AM scopes shipped yesterday. |

if the coin is a 72/72 then a sharp closeup of LIBERTY and the DATE. if it is 72/72 it is not FS101 but there are multiple varieties of this so having a blow up of those areas would help define which one. it also does not look like a FS104 which is the other high valued one. I think your assessment of an FS102 probably is correct. we will wait for an update on this one.

I'm not an expert on DDO's either but after careful analysis I think your call of FS102 is probably accurate. lighting glare makes it difficult due to shadowing but its the closest variety to yours |
