canadanz Valued Member United States 273 Posts	Posted 05/15/2011 2:52 pm At least an MS64. Great coin. Nice find. Report this Post to the Staff
3_Cent_Silver Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 05/15/2011 3:11 pm The only thing I'm worried about is the spot located at about 2:00. Sorry if that was hard to see in the picture. Does that affect its MS64 grade you all gave? Report this Post to the Staff
canadanz Valued Member United States 273 Posts	Posted 05/15/2011 5:02 pm One spot like that shouldn't necessarily hold it back from an MS-64... at least not in the US. I've seen many Lincoln cents with much, much worse spotting than that go 64. Report this Post to the Staff
uncle al Valued Member Canada 311 Posts	Posted 05/15/2011 6:43 pm I see some other spots, on the reverse, there is are spots at 3 o'clock, 10 to 11 o'clock on the leaf, just above the first 9, and in the last A in Canada. Hoping it is just the lighting, but at about 4 to 5 o'clock, on the rim, there looks like two marks. Under the N in Canada, is there something there or is it just from the light? If I am wrong, and in this case I hope so, then at MS64. I also have come across one of these 1996 pennies recently. Report this Post to the Staff
3_Cent_Silver Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 05/16/2011 4:36 pm The majority of those are just from the light. However, there are two minuscule marks: one in the top middle of the left leaf and another in the first "9" of 1996. Report this Post to the Staff
uncle al Valued Member Canada 311 Posts	Posted 05/16/2011 6:07 pm Fair enough, then MS64. Sure brigtens up the day to come across coins like this. Report this Post to the Staff
