1919 Cent in the raw

[Old Pueblo]

Of all the wheat cents I collected in pocket change over the years this 1919 has the most detail.

 

What Say You?

Yep, looks pretty good to me!

Nice! For some reason, 1919 sticks out in my mind as one of the early issues that usually was well struck, and tended to retain better detail. Am I correct that there's an MS-68 or 69 out there?

Here is Stewart Blay's MS69

I was just about to say before I saw the MS69 pictures, that the example shown by OP has the same beard characteristics as the MS69. The first time I saw pictures of Stuarts coin, I thought it was a fake because of that beard. Apparently you have a coin struck from the exact same die!

very nice example.
