That's the FIRST part that matters. The steps being chopped up is the only reason that reverse would not grade 67. Have you seen now soft the steps are on most 1960-1963 cents? This one has a superb strike. Report this Post to the Staff

PCGS took the pics of the first coin, the second coin are my photos of my coin. I use PCGS photograde and coinfacts a lot to periodically sort catalogue coins that were left to me. I do know in chatting around that there are a couple of coins listed with a different grade than is actually on the slab - so it might be possible that the '62 on their coinfacts is a typo. The early memorials are and have been steadily picking up in the last few months. I have noticed it mostly on whole roll prices. So I decided I would look a bit into the memorials I have. Honestly, at this point, I think I am going to put them away for awhile and stick with the wheaties. I am toooo confused :) Report this Post to the Staff

On 60-63 as well as many more issues. I'm obsessed with Memorial steps my friend! For me, that's one of the big challenges with my Memorial collection....full steps. I seek coins with full and complete steps just like the nickel collectors. I think it should be designated on slabs just as it is for nickels. Lincoln Cent Lover!

I don't even mess with slabbed coins because they never meet my standards and I don't much care for how the TPG's grade them. Lincoln Cent Lover!
