Thanks! It is for sure in better shape than my other finds so far. I have no idea if it would grade well though because of the ding on the reverse under the steps.

John1, I was only looking on varietyvista, they only showed the differences on on the reverse between stage A and B being a die crack on column 1 and 2 on the reverse. i'll have to take it out of the 2x2 I put it in to check against those on coppercoins. I couldn't see anything through it. if it doesn't have the die markers but still has that doubled ear lobe showing, what would that mean?

it has the die chip for MDS on the reverse but no crack on the "C" in cent and no scratches or cracks on the forehead of Lincoln. does this mean it is somewhere between EDS and MDS or after MDS? I haven't done much research on die states other than to know what DDD looks like    |

Need coop to see what he says,but the mark below the earlobe looks a bit off to me for 004. Might be a different die state that is throwing me off or not a doubled earlobe at all? Might be a platint bubble? John1  |

Looks like a bag mark on the brow.  Your die looks like it may have just been given the first polishing. I'd have to make a SBS to see if the devices are smaller or not. They maybe slightly reduced if this was the first polishing. The beard is showing a weaker look to it than the example I posted. Edited by coop

Thanks for the confirmation coop! Would you like me to get some more photos of those areas for you to compare and add to your files?

A few wider shots of the reverse area. That might be educational. Thanks.

NGC MS-65. But they said it was not an eligible variety? Very frustrated with them on this coin.

Thank you for the update. Too bad they would not label the variety.

Great grade! But NGC shot themselves in the foot when they decided to go to the silly VP program. They used to label most all decent varieties, but culled that back to just a specific set under the VP program. You can find great varieties, like 1930-S DDO-001, in an NGC slab with the variety on the label, but they won't do it anymore. And worse, they put their unique VP number on the slab, and no one has those memorized so you see a VP number and don't know what variety it is anyway without going to their website to figure it out. Just seems like they have an actual negative interest in doing varieties. Sorry for the negative effect this has in your situation, but you are not alone in being disappointed with an NGC variety submission.
