I have been looking at this coin every day since I posted a picture, then went back and looked at the actual coin. I then went to every PCGS coin graded ms-68 in the fifties. A 1951-d Lincoln and a 1955-s, the only two that received a ms-68 grade and this coin holds up to both of them. From contact marks to rim damade to luster to full strike with no hits on the letters or numbers. There are two miniscule carbon marks on this coin but I saw carbon marks on the other two. These marks are magnified 20 times, so you get the idea of being small. 20 times pwr scope makes things look huge. My guess what is PCGS will give me a MS-67 or if I am super lucky a MS-67+, then I will have to resubmit to regrade or ask for a reconsideration. If this happens, they will charge me the 1 % upgrade fee (if it upgrades at all) for the new value in addition to the resubmission fee and shipping and handling. In this scenario PCGS will make an additional 100 bucks to God knows how much. It took me all of 4 months to realize how the game is played. In the event an angel appears, and I get a MS-68 how do they determine the value? What would be the best way to sell this coin? If a miracle happens and I get the exceptional grade, I could sell and buy my 1909-s vdb in 65 and the 14-d in 63 and the 09-s in 65. Since this would be the first 54-s in 68 what kind of price to accept? Look I know I will have to worry first about what grade I get. A 67 1954-s is only worth 140 bucks 67+ is only around 400 bucks I will hold on to the coin if I don't get a high enough grade, I believe. Hoping for a miracle! Maybe I will catch them on a good day!
