Here's my story on this one. These are easy to find in MS condition. Probably the most used die in that run, so they aren't worth a huge premium. For that reason I wasn't in a hurry to purchase one. This coin came up less than book value with incredible rainbow toning and a striking error of some kind. Thanks for looking and check out the weakness in the strike. It's on the obverse and reverse. Not sure if it's grease or something with the strike. The plate coin on VV has the same effect.

If not a Greaser maybe a thin planchet...?
Your patience paid off!

Thanks guys. I feel like this is one of those coins that gets a gold CAC sticker. IMO the only reason it isn't a 66 or higher was the greasy strike. It is a 9/10 in hand.
