What's going on up at the 'Pluribus' area? I'm at 66 because of that, the carbon spot under the E in 'Cent' and the nick between the N and T in 'Cent'. That thing has some monsters luster though! Love this coin!

Obverse is impeccable , but reverse has some issues. What's all those hits on C in the word CENT ? couple of very small hits on the N in the word ONE . And what is that
small line under E.PLURIBUS ?
Tons of original luster; MS-64+RD .

So judging by the responses I feel like you all felt like me.. a decent coin with nice luster.. the obv was so hammered that I had honestly seen nothing like it.. I know its early, but felt I would share now.. my first reaction was wow let me see that please.. it was in a 2x2.. I pick it up to examine and say mmm this thing looks different.. almost to good to be true.. luster is present so it cant be cleaned.. color doesn't look off.. mmm I cant put my finger on it.. I pass and get a guy to look at it that has a good eye for nice coins.. he looked at it and said man that is just super nice.. so I buy it and send it in.. PCGS gave this coin a uncirculated details grade with altered surface.. I guess I should have stuck with my instinct.. I just cant inagine what someone did to this coin to make it still look this blazing..

After knowing the fact, the surface is indeed not evenly distributed. Look at the bump around the lincoln bust. I have noticed a lot of similar coins on market and never bought one. So it is a good instinct.
