Hoping to get a 66 from PCGS even though I can buy one cheaper.

MS-65, shot at 66. Clogged 9 in date and die polishing subtract from eye appeal. DDD on Liberty?

I have read every book I could find on how to grade coins and Lincoln cents in particular (which means nothing). Please help correct me. My thought process all along was that minor mistakes from the mint were not taken into account when grading a coin?. Strike must be strong for the date and mintmark. Coin may have 3 or four minor contact marks and one more noticeable but not detracting mark. Coin must have exceptional eye appeal and lustrous original color. I say these things only to get some feedback from members. Please I wasn't trying to give you a grading lesson, if anything I want a grading lesson. If a coin comes straight from a OBW roll and has that fresh copper color, is that not original and lustrous (not said to be sarcastic). What do others consider lustrous? What's a minor mark or distractable mark (the filled 9 is very distracting to me). Not all rolls look the same. Just because it is original doesn't automatically make it have exceptional eye appeal, I get that. My pictures are magnified 30 up to fifty times and show the technical errors of the coin. Serious question here. Must a coin have some color slightly out the ordinary to grab your attention. Help me on this. I have tried to look up this info dozens of times and can't quite put this question to rest.

I guess

I guess the partially filled 9 may constitute a details grade.

With no question stated, I'm left feeling this is another "guess what grospoisson has on his mind" thread.

Hey Nick10, I actually laughed out loud. I can never seem to word anything like I want. But boy it made sense when I posted it. Later on, when I reread what I posted I see what you mean. I still appreciate when you try to help me. I am still a work in progress. One day I will know 5 percent of what you guys know! Maybe? Basically, I am trying to complete a set of my own choosing that grades 66 or better really shooting for several 67's at least from 1950 on up. As expensive as it may seem. I am enjoying the heck out of it. When I run across something that doesn't look right I post it. When I run across a coin that seems really good, I get excited and ask for grades. I always call up the PCGS website and view what they have in ms-67 of that year and try to compare to what I think is good. I will try to do better.
