scurry64 Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 10/27/2014 9:22 pm I search of a MS67 or higher. Do you think the clash on the reverse will negatively impact the grade? Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19942 Posts	Posted 10/27/2014 9:39 pm I don't see a clash but I do see a lot of weakness in the strike. The Memorial building is very weak at the top and the stairs aren't fully formed. To hit 67 these would have to be much better. MS-65RD Lincoln Cent Lover!

scurry64 Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 10/27/2014 9:57 pm I'm disappointed in myself for not picking up on the weak strike at the top left of the Memorial. Better hit the books some more. Report this Post to the Staff
dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 10/27/2014 10:03 pm Weak strike I cannot comment on but I can on all the chatter on both sides. you've got carbon spotting, surface abrasions and over handling in general. The mirrors are too compromised to climb above a 64 even on this one. Report this Post to the Staff

scurry64 Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 10/28/2014 3:52 pm In case anyone is curious, thanks to Coop I now know that the ghost image on the reverse is called a "progressive indirect design transfer." It is quite common on 1946 S and 1948 S LWC, but quite unusual for a LMC. Report this Post to the Staff
