Very difficult for me to find one without water spots. This is as close as I have come. What's your take on it?

Much glare--looks like it has good potential, just can't quite get a grip on it.

The fields are very distracting.

i think this one is a better strike than the other one. just a few very minor ticks on the rims. MS67RD

i like the memorials better probably because we have been grading them longer and know what to look for

The lighting in these photos makes it hard to grade this one.

Flatness in the head/hair but looks to be at least 66.

The eye appeal is excellent but not anything that really really catches your eye. I have been searching for some without the roller lines and without water spots. For me they are surprisingly hard to find. Not including the 2009 Lincolns , I have a box of every year from 2006 on upward and living in south Louisiana a lot of the rolls are developing the ring toning, which could be to my advantage? All I have as a guide are pictures from PCGS of ms-67 and 68 coins for the shield cents anyway. Lincolns with the memorial reverse, I have a better idea of what to look for. The shield cents are much tougher for me. Unless I have an unbelievable shield cent , I will not submit. In any case any and all comments are helping me thanks!
