Just opened a roll of .50 cents and found a lot of nice no bag marks better than most rolls. So what do you think?   |

Thanks for posting--wonder when the circulating ones will start showing up for 2023?

I'll go with MS-64.
Errers and Varietys.

Difficult to find a way that coin could be improved on - MS-68 or even 69. At that level you need to go in with some serious magnification to find any defects with confidence. The only marks I can see are, maybe, some tiny abrasions at south south west on the reverse and at due east on the obverse. The fields appear flawless and the detail is outstanding.
It will be interesting to see how the wear on those coins develops in circulation - lots of detail in the hair, ear and face and it's well distributed between high points and lower points. I can imagine the descriptions of the future: "MS-61 due to weak strike in George's wattle...."

E&V MS64 seriously it's better than a 64 , Silver 101 might be high with his MS68 but his is at least a 66 or 67 I think.

To me, there's something going on with the corner of his eye.

That is way better than the usual RCM circulating coins. It usually takes months for newly struck coins to start appearing in change. |

Okay, maybe not 68 though seriously, can anyone find any flaws on that sucker?

There is a very small rim hit at 6:30 on the rev. a 68 would be nice but I will take MS67
