Another 12-S I added to my collection lately. What kind of grade do you think PCGS gave this cent?.............   |

I'm always impressed with the high relief of Lincoln portrait on these early cents.
Lovely chocolate brown surfaces with minimal wear, so I'm suggesting AU-something.
There are a number of unusual indentations on the obverse surfaces. I'm not sure what they are but if corrosion then PCGS might have Detailed the coin.

Can't tell if the hits are on the holder or coin, so AU58 or MS62

Thank you @nickelsearcher. Even with the problem I though that cent was too nice to pass on. Got it for VF30 money.

Nice AU. Didn't see where the spot was removed from.
