Quote:further analysis, for future reference, I found a high number of MS66 graded coins that have tick marks on the shoulder similar to yours. again the 1960-80
LMC's this seems to be fairly common and some if not all of it can be attribute to the die. the marks above ONE CENT also appears on many of them. the PCGS coin on their site as the template for 67RD also contains some shoulder marks
we need to keep this in mind going forward with these years
Very well stated! if one reviews MS-67 coins from the sixties posted by PCGS, they would be surprised as to what PCGS considers a ms-67 coin.
