| This is a zinc core cent, therefore those "scrape" marks in order to remove the E would have exposed the core. Missing E makes me feel it was due to "grease" and the weak bottom part of the lettering in STATES is due to the "metal" being needed for the bust on the obverse.....That's how I see it...Lovely looking cent though |

I can't grade Jeff's worth a darn...( some might say any coin for that matter... ) because who's to say which marks were place into the planchet during the annealing process and which ones from after the minting....
At least there are some steps
So I'd say how does it fit in with the others in your set? |

| Oh that looks bad (sorry to say) 1982 I'm pretty sure this was before robotic operations was used in handling and packaging the coins into the case, so most likely a mint employee allowed something to get on the coin. If the case can be opened without damaging it, I would remove and replace the quarter with another proof one (cleaning the plastic case first) |

Never any problems for me...maybe the manufacturer/brand. But I do like storing my dimes in cent holder..cents in nickels, all other denominations in the proper holders.
Side note, you have your email locked, send me an email for an update on your needed Denver circ. set.....most of your list is crossed off...just that pesky LD82 zinc and a couples quarters. |

Another very well struck coin...reverse appears to have a minimum of ticks/hits and looks almost PL (to me) Obverse she has a nice pretty clean cheek,hair, cap and blossoms very well struck...
I like it but please keep it and enjoy it....
I'm going to go with 64+...only because of big jump up to 65.
